Additional quotes by Omar Khayyám
You say some Greek philosophers could dazzle their audiences
with their riddles? That does not interest me at all. Bring
more wine instead and play your lute; your changes in tones
remind me of the wind that rushes past and disappears,
just like us.
Drunk am I with very love and awe;
'Twas ever thus with veritable seers — Too drunk with joy to tell us what they saw.
We are in truth but pieces on this chess board of life,which in the end we leave,only to drop one by one into the grave of nothingness.
