'''All truths are partial and the last, the most.'''

'''Today is the Tomorrow of Yesterday
And the Yesterday of Tomorrow'.''

''1. 'It is not we who catch up with age;
It is old age that catches up with us',
As the over-taker said to the undertaker.

2. 'Middle age is when you are old enough to
to envy youth, but not too old to stop
caring about the loss of youth.'


3. 'One consolation of middle age is to watch
the parallel of ageing of contemporaries'.''

''A Zen Quibble.

There is no point in this Zen story.
That is the point.''

'''I am securely anchored to a grooved
Orbit of days and seasons; I shall hold
Fast to my functions, my place in the sun,
Observer, object, subject, substitute
For the vanishing void in the centre.'''

'''O Woe, we owe you overmuch
That crippled Happiness should take you as its crutch'.''

'''Some of us predict the Past, imagine the Present,
Historicise the Future too. But our dates are mythical,
Our imaginings are private fictions, our predictions are
irrelevant.

Time that is measured is only is only a strip of a Perpetual Calendar, a fictional chronometer, a mood too subjective to serialise as the last Act in a play without an Epilogue.'''

''Arrest. We want to catch Time and wind
it round a wrist and keep watching it.
Time takes its revenge on us by watching
us constantly.''

''Truly Singular. When you can count the hairs on your
head rather than speak of your head of hair, you are
truly balding. Everyone has plural selves, but each
is truly singular.''

'''The world is a vast artifice, constantly under
renovation. We are the architects of its
demolition and the artisans of change in our
imaginary nooks, crannies and private cubicles.'''
