Omar Khayyam: The universe is a fata morgana; life is a dream.
My birth didn't add anything   to the universe. My death will not detract  anything from its infinite greatness. No one  could ever explain to me why I came here,  why I will leave again. Don't pursue happiness!  Life is as short as a sigh.  The dust of people that were once famous  turn with the reddish clay on the wheel you are  looking at. The universe is a fata morgana;  life is a dream.
The tenants of the tombs to dust decay,   Nescient of self, and all beside are they;   Their sundered atoms float about the world,   Like mirage clouds, until the judgment-day.
