Quotes About Ephemerality

The unexpected connections we make might not last, yet stay with us forever
~ Sofia Coppola

There is no spot on earth that is free from loss. On this street, or in this room, someone lay down or was put down and was no more. Someone held someone else for the last time here. Rivers and lakes and oceans are full of people who vanished beneath the surface and were never seen again. Wherever you are standing, wherever you call home, someone left the earth there. Everyone we love dies and disappears.

Sentii sulle labbra un gusto amaro, il gusto della caducità: a che scopo vivere, quando il vento che ci sospinge spazza via anche l'ultima traccia del passo appena compiuto?

Nietzsche envisions the tragic man or woman, living life to the fullest, as one who builds sandcastles passionately, all the time aware of the coming tide. The ephemeral, illusory nature of all form does not detract from the surrender to the passion of the work; it enhances and enriches it.

Neden yüzleri kül gibi soÄŸuk? Varl?klar?n? ölü ÅŸeylerden kazand?klar? için. Biliyorsun, onlar varl?klar?n?, insanlar?n ömrünü tüketerek sürdürüyorlar.
