Additional quotes by Omar Khayyám

Whereat some one of the loquacious Lot — I think a Sufi pipkin-waxing hot — "All this of Pot and Potter — Tell me then, Who is the Potter, pray, and who the Pot?"

And do you think that unto such as you
A maggot-minded, starved, fanatic crew
God gave a secret, and denied it me?
Well, well — what matters it? Believe that, too!

The moving hand once having writ moves on. Nor all thy piety nor wit can lure it back to cancel half a line.
