| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Camille by Alexandre Dumas: to I should have seen in this new and turbulent life of
Marguerite the attempt to silence a constant thought, a ceaseless
memory. Unfortunately, evil passion had the upper hand, and I
only sought for some means of avenging myself on the poor
creature. Oh, how petty and vile is man when he is wounded in one
of his narrow passions!
This Olympe whom I had seen was, if not a friend of Marguerite,
at all events the woman with whom she was most often seen since
her return to Paris. She was going to give a ball, and, as I took
it for granted that Marguerite would be there, I tried to get an
invitation and succeeded.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Poems of Goethe, Bowring, Tr. by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: All proposed attending.
Johnny, go and look around!
Are they hither wending?
Not a single one appears,
None seem this way posting.
All the soup boils fast away,
Joints are over-roasting.
Ah, I fear that we have been
Rather too unbending!
Johnny, tell me what you think!
None are hither wending.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from I Have A Dream by Martin Luther King, Jr.: This speech has been through years of court cases to determine,
in various jurisdictions, whether it was ever copyrighted, and
the United States court system recently laid down their rulings
that this speech had never been copyrighted, since at that time
it was required to post a copyright notice on printed copies to
be distributed, and this speech was distributed without such an
extra (C) Copyright notice as was then required in the US. The
US revised this law in 1989, an no longer requires such notice.
