From the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (Translation by Edward Fitzgerald)
You know, my Friends, with what a brave Carouse
I made a Second Marriage in my house;
Divorced old barren Reason from my Bed,
And took the Daughter of the Vine to Spouse.
For “Is” and “Is-not” though with Rule and Line
And “Up-and-down” by Logic I define,
Of all that one should care to fathom, I
Was never deep in anything but – Wine.
Great short quote and quotation by: from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (Translation by Edward Fitzgerald) ,

Seek not to follow in the footsteps of men of old; seek what they sought.
