Drink and dance and laugh and lie,
Love, the reeling midnight through,
For tomorrow we shall die!

It is sweet to dance to violins
When Love and Life are fair:
To dance to flutes, to dance to lutes
Is delicate and rare:
But it is not sweet with nimble feet
To dance upon the air!

 
Oscar Wilde

Soren Aabye Kierkegaard
 

Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.

 
Isaiah
 

There's a lot of things great about life. But I think tomorrow is the most important thing. Comes in to us at midnight very clean, ya know. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

 
John Wayne
