| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Contrast by Royall Tyler: my father were not so hasty in his temper? Surely,
if I were to state my reasons for declining this match,

find my heart must ever despise. [Exit.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Charmides by Plato: enquiry into health and disease, and not into what is extraneous?
True.
And he who judges rightly will judge of the physician as a physician in
what relates to these?
He will.
He will consider whether what he says is true, and whether what he does is
right, in relation to health and disease?
He will.
But can any one attain the knowledge of either unless he have a knowledge
of medicine?
He cannot.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Master and Man by Leo Tolstoy: got inside his collar.
'What a thing to do!' said Nikita reproachfully, addressing
the drift and the hollow and shaking the snow from under his
collar.
'Nikita! Hey, Nikita!' shouted Vasili Andreevich from above.
But Nikita did not reply. He was too occupied in shaking out
the snow and searching for the whip he had dropped when rolling
down the incline. Having found the whip he tried to climb
straight up the bank where he had rolled down, but it was
impossible to do so: he kept rolling down again, and so he had
to go along at the foot of the hollow to find a way up. About
