over time.”

Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
“The
Universe is very, very big.
It
also loves a paradox. For example, it has some extremely strict rules.
Rule
number one: Nothing lasts forever.
Not
you or your family or your house or your planet or the sun. It is an absolute
rule. Therefore when someone says that their love will never die, it means that
their love is not real, for everything that is real dies.
Rule
number two: Everything lasts forever.”

Craig Ferguson, Between the Bridge and the River
“The
chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance.
The
next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you,
as
perfect, as unspoiled,
as
if you had never wasted or misapplied
a
single moment in all your life.
You
can turn over a new leaf every hour
if
you choose.”

“Have
you also learned that secret from the river; that there is no such thing as
time?" That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at
the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in
the mountains, everywhere and that the present only exists for it, not the
shadow of the past nor the shadow of the future.”

Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
“With

doing.”

the you who you are tonight is the same you I was in love with yesterday, the
same you I’ll be in love with tomorrow.”

Gayle Forman, If I Stay
“I'm
afraid of time... I mean, I'm afraid of not having enough time. Not enough time
to understand people, how they really are, or to be understood myself. I'm
afraid of the quick judgements or mistakes everybody makes. You can't fix them
without time. I'm afraid of seeing snapshots, not movies.”
―
Ann Brashares
