If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.

May 29, 1913: The Rite of Spring (Le Sacre du Printemps) premieres.
This ballet - set to music by Igor Stravinsky - was described by one London music journal as “hideous”. The same journal claimed that Stravinsky’s music (later popularized by Disney’s Fantasia) had “no relation to music at all as most of us understand the word”. Its premiere in Paris at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées was met with boos and heckling by members of the audience, who soon broke out in fights and arguments, finally resulting in the most famous classical music riot in history.
The unnatural choreography (by Vaslav Nijinsky), along with the strange costume design and even stranger plot added to the controversy and further incited the audience, perhaps more so than the music.
All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.

The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.
I imagined the lies the valedictorian was telling them right now. About the exciting future that lies ahead. I wish she’d tell them the truth: Half of you have gone as far in life as you’re ever going to. Look around. It’s all downhill from here. The rest of us will go a bit further, a steady job, a trip to Hawaii, or a move to Phoenix, Arizona, but out of fifteen hundred how many will do anything truly worthwhile, write a play, paint a painting that will hang in a gallery, find a cure for herpes? Two of us, maybe three? And how many will find true love? About the same. And enlightenment? Maybe one. The rest of us will make compromises, find excuses, someone or something to blame, and hold that over our hearts like a pendant on a chain.

The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together.
