In normal times we are all aware, consciously or not, that there is no love which cannot be surpassed, yet we accept with a greater or lesser degree of equanimity that ours shall remain merely average. Albert Camus
Nicolas Chamfort quote: "In order not to find life unbearable, you must accept two..."
In order not to find life unbearable, you must accept two things: the ravages of time and the injustices of man. Nicolas Chamfort
Time is rhythm: the insect rhythm of a warm humid night, brain ripple, breathing, the drum in my temple—these are our faithful timekeepers; and reason corrects the feverish beat. Vladimir Nabokov
In normal times all of us know, whether consciously or not, that there is no love which can't be bettered; nevertheless, we reconcile ourselves more or less easily to the fact that ours has never risen above the average. Albert Camus
...in that rich earth a richer dust concealed.(I'm flogging a dead horse w/ this one but this is the 1st time I've even seen this quotes feature! I just wanted to post something.) Rupert Brooke
In a thousand years time this day will have existed for a thousand years to the day. And the ignorance of the whole world about what they've said today will have a date too. Marguerite Duras
Napoleon Bonaparte quote: "In our time no one has the conception of what is great. It is..."
In our time no one has the conception of what is great. It is up to me to show them. Napoleon Bonaparte
Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains. Henry David Thoreau
Leo Buscaglia quote: "Time has no meaning in itself unless we choose to give it..."
Time has no meaning in itself unless we choose to give it significance Leo Buscaglia
In the 40,000 year time scale we're all the same people. We're all equally primitive, give or take two or three thousand years here or a hundred years there. Gary Snyder
