“Pulvis et umbra sumus. It's a line from Horace. 'We are dust and shadows'. Appropriate, don't you think?" Will said. "It's not a long life, killing demons; one tends to die young, and then they burn your body - dust to dust, in the literal sense. And then we vanish into the shadows of history, nary a mark on the page of a mundane book to remind the world that once we existed at all.”

“Pulvis et umbra sumus. (We are but dust and shadow.)”

“When it's all over and the dust from our Ancestors bodies and our own settle from the four winds only then will we see that we were here!”

“And I will show you something different from eitherYour shadow at morning striding behind youOr your shadow at evening rising to meet youI will show you fear in a handful of dust”

“I close my eyesOnly for a moment, then the moment's goneAll my dreamsPass before my eyes, a curiosity...Same old songJust a drop of water in an endless seaAll we doCrumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see...Now, don't hang onNothing lasts forever but the earth and skyIt slips awayAnd all your money won't another minute buy...Dust in the windAll we are is dust in the wind."(Kansas guitarist Kerry Livgren wrote this after reading a book of Native American poetry. The line that caught his attention was "For All We Are Is Dust In The Wind.")”

“There is shadow under this red rock // (Come in under the shadow of this red rock) // And I will show you something different from either // Your shadow at morning striding behind you // Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you // I will show you fear in a handful of dust.”
