Quote by Omar Khayyam

Whether at Naishapur or Babylon, Whether the Cup with sweet or bitter run, The Wine of Life keeps oozing drop by drop, The Leaves of Life keep falling one by one.

Whether at Naishapur or Babylon, Whether the Cup with sweet

Summary

This quote emphasizes the transient nature and inevitability of life's fleeting moments. Whether we find ourselves in pleasant or challenging circumstances, like Naishapur or Babylon, the wine of life, which symbolizes our experiences, continues to flow, drip by drip. Similarly, the leaves of life, representing the passing of time, fall one by one, reminding us of the impermanence of our existence. It serves as a reminder to recognize and appreciate the preciousness of every moment as they gradually slip away.

The race of prophets is extinct. Europe is becoming set in its ways, slowly embalming itself beneath the wrappings of its borders, its factories, its law-courts and its universities. The frozen Mind cracks between the mineral staves which close upon it. The fault lies with your moldy systems, your logic of 2 + 2 = 4. The fault lies with you, Chancellors, caught in the net of syllogisms. You manufacture engineers, magistrates, doctors, who know nothing of the true mysteries of the body or the cosmic laws of existence. False scholars blind outside this world, philosophers who pretend to reconstruct the mind. The least act of spontaneous creation is a more complex and revealing world than any metaphysics.
