• I cannot be grasped in the here and now,
  For my dwelling place is much among the dead,
  As the yet unborn,
  Slightly closer to the heart of creation than usual,
  But still not close enough.

• Nay, do not grieve tho' life be full of sadness,
  Dawn will not veil her spleandor for your grief,
  Nor spring deny their bright, appointed beauty
  To lotus blossom and ashoka leaf.
  
  Nay, do not pine, tho' life be dark with trouble,
  Time will not pause or tarry on his way;
  To-day that seems so long, so strange, so bitter,
  Will soon be some forgotten yesterday.
  
  Nay, do not weep; new hopes, new dreams, new faces,
  The unspent joy of all the unborn years,
  Will prove your heart a traitor to its sorrow,
  And make your eyes unfaithful to their tears.

• The biographies of great artists make it abundantly clear that the creative urge is often so imperious that it battens on their humanity and yokes everything to the service of the work, even at the cost of health and ordinary human happiness. The unborn work in the psyche of the artist is a force of nature that achieves its end either with tyrannical might or with the subtle cunning of nature herself, quite regardless of the personal fate of the man who is its vehicle.

  Carl Jung

• Gastronomers of the year 1825, who find sateity in the lap of abundance, and dream of some newly-made dishes, you will not enjoy the discoveries which science has in store for the year 1900, such as foods drawn from the mineral kingdom, liqueurs produced by the pressure of a hundred atmospheres; you will never see the importations which travelers yet unborn will bring to you from that half of the globe which has still to be discovered or explored. How I pity you!

• Why since I am myself subject to birth, ageing, disease, death, sorrows and defilement, do I seek after what is also subject to these things? Suppose, being myself subject these things, seeking danger in them, I were to seek the unborn, unageing, und.

• [The artist] speaks to our capacity for delight and wonder, to the sense of mystery surrounding our lives; to our sense of pity, and beauty, and pain; to the latent feeling of fellowship with all creation--and to the subtle but invincible conviction of solidarity in dreams, in joy, in sorrow, in aspirations, in illusions, in hope, in fear…which binds together all humanity--the dead to the living and the living to the unborn.

• She who has intentionally destroyed [the fetus] is subject to the penalty corresponding to a homicide. For us, there is no scrutinizing between the formed and unformed [fetus]; here truly justice is made not only for the unborn but also with reference to the person who is attentive only to himself/herself since so many women generally die for this very reason.

• The triumphs of the warrior are bounded by the narrow theatre of his own age; but those of a Scott or a Shakspeare will be renewed with greater and greater lustre in ages yet unborn, when the victorious chieftain shall be forgotten, or shall live only in the song of the minstrel and the page of the chronicler.
