Quotes about time:
In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time.
What then is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know.
Quotes about eternity:
To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
Love is the emblem of eternity; it confounds all notion of time; effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end.
Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.
