| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from A Woman of No Importance by Oscar Wilde: LORD ILLINGWORTH. You are severe - on yourself.
MRS. ALLONBY. Define us as a sex.
LORD ILLINGWORTH. Sphinxes without secrets.
MRS. ALLONBY. Does that include the Puritan women?
LORD ILLINGWORTH. Do you know, I don't believe in the existence of
Puritan women? I don't think there is a woman in the world who
would not be a little flattered if one made love to her. It is
that which makes women so irresistibly adorable.
MRS. ALLONBY. You think there is no woman in the world who would
object to being kissed?
LORD ILLINGWORTH. Very few.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Complete Angler by Izaak Walton: they did usually keep them living in glass bottles in their dining-rooms,
and they did glory much in their entertaining of friends, to have that
fish taken from under their table alive that was instantly to be fed upon;
and he says, they took great pleasure to see their Mullets change to
several colours when they were dying. But enough of this; for I doubt I
have staid too long from giving you some Observations of the Trout,
and how to fish for him, which shall take up the next of my spare time.
The third day - continued
On the Nature and Breeding of the Trout,
and how to fish for him

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Lamentable Tragedy of Locrine and Mucedorus by William Shakespeare: And fell into this bloody butcher's hands.
AMADINE.
Hermit, I will;
Of late a worthy shepherd I did love.
MUCEDORUS.
A shepherd, lady? sure a man unfit
To match with you.
AMADINE.
Hermit, this is true, and when we had--
MUCEDORUS.
Stay there, the wild man comes.
