Before And After Quotes

When people see some things as beautiful, other things become ugly. When people see some things as good, other things become bad. Being and non-being create each other. Difficult and easy support each other. Long and short define each other. High and low depend on each other. Before and after follow each other. Therefore the Masteracts without doing anythingand teaches without saying anything. Things arise and she lets them come; things disappear and she lets them go. She has but doesn't... Lao Tzu
When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity before and after, the little space which I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, why now rather than then. Who has put me here? By whose order and direction have this place and time been allotted to me? Memoria hospitis... Blaise Pascal
Love is eternal -- the aspect may change, but not the essence. There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light too, and that is its real function. And love makes one calmer about many things, and that way, one is more fit for one's work. Vincent Van Gogh
What is a man, if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more. Sure he that made us with such large discourse, looking before and after, gave us not that capability and god-like reason to fust in us unused. William Shakespeare
Wheather it is conscious or not, you eventually make the decision to divide your life in half - before and after - with loss being that tight bubble in the middle. You can move around in spite of it; you can laugh and smile and carry on with your life, but all it takes is one slow range of motion, a doubling over, to be fully aware of the empty space at your center. Jodi Picoult
There were loads of plays which were very popular before and after the war, where everybody wore a dinner jacket in the third act and it was in a house that you wished you'd owned with people that you wish you knew. It was life seen through a very privileged way. Timothy West
We look before and after, And pine for what is not; Our sincerest laughter With some pain is fraught; Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought. Percy Bysshe Shelley
I feel like we were the last generation, and there's this big divide before and after the 1990s. I feel sorry for the kids today. It's all too much. Chloe Sevigny
Klaus Schulze quote: "I did not start IC and Inteam to have control over my music. I..."
I did not start IC and Inteam to have control over my music. I had control before and after. Klaus Schulze
In many ways, history is marked as 'before' and 'after' Rosa Parks. She sat down in order that we all might stand up, and the walls of segregation came down. Jesse Jackson
T. S. Eliot quote: "Not the intense moment. Isolated, with no before and after,..."
Not the intense moment. Isolated, with no before and after, But a lifetime burning in every moment. T. S. Eliot
Homer quote: "Young men's minds are always changeable, but when an old man..."
Young men's minds are always changeable, but when an old man is concerned in a matter, he looks both before and after. Homer
As Cuvier could correctly describe a whole animal by the contemplation of a single bone, so the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a series of incidents should be able to accurately state all the other ones, both before and after. Arthur Conan Doyle
Well, I don't know how they define that. But they have this Texas blues thing blown kinda out of proportion. I am a Long John Hunter blues, before and after, that's what I am. John Hunter
Michael Novak quote: "In God's eyes, there's not before and after. Every moment of..."
In God's eyes, there's not before and after. Every moment of time is simultaneous to God. Michael Novak
