Additional quotes by Omar Khayyám

Shapes of all Sorts and Sizes, great and small, That stood along the floor and by the wall; And some loquacious Vessels were; and some Listen'd perhaps, but never talk'd at all.

And do you think that unto such as you
A maggot-minded, starved, fanatic crew

Well, well — what matters it? Believe that, too!

کاتێ لە زەوی وەنەوشە سەردەردێنێ
سروە دەمی خونچە ماچ بکا و ڕایژێنێ
چەند خۆشە لەگەڵ خونچەدەمێ ڕایبوێری
تۆ تۆبەشکێن و ئەو دڵت نەشکێنێ
