| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Warlord of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs:
"Rise, red men! Before we die let us leave a memorial in the
palace of Okar's tyrant that will stand forever in the annals of
Kadabra to the honor and glory of Helium," for I had seen that all
the prisoners there were men of Tardos Mors's navy.
Then the first guardsman was upon me and the fight was on,
but scarce did we engage ere, to my horror, I saw that the
red slaves were shackled to the floor.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Dreams & Dust by Don Marquis: But the world, with its cruelty and clamor,
Broke him and beat him down;
So he passed; he was worn, he was weary,
He was slain at the touch of life;--
With a smile that was wistful and eerie
He passed from the senseless strife;--
So he ceased (is their humor satiric,
These gods that make perfect and blight?)--
He ceased like an exquisite lyric
That dies on the breast of night.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Baby Mine by Margaret Mayo: "Henri?" repeated Jimmy and again a gleam of hope shone on his
dull features. He had heard that waiters were often to be
bribed. "Nice fellow, Henri," he ventured cautiously. "Gets a
large salary, no doubt?"
"Does he!" exclaimed Alfred, with a certain pride of
proprietorship. "No tips could touch Henri, no indeed. He's not
that sort of a person."
Again the hope faded from Jimmy's round face.
"I look upon Henri as my friend," continued Alfred
enthusiastically. "He speaks every language known to man. He's
been in every country in the world. HENRI UNDERSTANDS LIFE."
