Not quite. Headstone from a Medieval monastery, copied and recopied so frequently that you can probably find it (or a variation thereof) in any sizeable cemtery:

Remember me as ye pass by,
As ye are now, so once was I,
As I am now, so shall ye be,
Prepare thyself to follow me.
I also like this quote from Byron: "There is something pagan in me that I cannot shake off. In short, I deny nothing, but doubt everything."
Whether or not it is clear to you, without a doubt, the universe is unfolding as it should.
I found an interesting quote on the back of a Type O Negative album (2003's Life is Killing Me).
"If God were suddenly condemned to live the life which he has inflicted on men, he would kill himself" - Alexander Dumas

To me this quote speaks more about the dehuamanized corporate/comsumer nature of the world. it seems like nothing is meant to be enjoyed, just shat out, consumed, and on to the next fad. I think it's hard for people to be satisfied by anything when big business has been influencing us to view our lives as "consumers" rather than human beings.
