Quotes About Evaporation

David: And you think it can just evaporate? Even if at one time they loved one another? Marx: That's one of the sad truths of existence. Nothing in this world is permanent.

Triste?ea persista, dar durerea aproape c? disp?ruse, ca ?i cum s-ar fi evaporat. Atinsese acel prag unde durerea care sfâ?ie nu mai e decât o melancolie plutitoare ce mai curând umbre?te decât r?ne?te.

There she was, stable and as if forever; then -- nothing. Vanished like fire or air, an element of the earth back into the earth. To mix with the everyone-else people that never ceased to be.

Sylvia Levov stoically and impatiently endured him, her only successful form of resistance being to freeze him out and live with the isolation—and see more of herself evaporating year by year.

How do you convey that sense of freedom that tasted like sweet nectar for the first time? How do you explain it to someone who was born into freedom? It is impossible to convey.

then into a space where there seemed to be nothing but mist. When we came to a wall of yew twice as high as Aurelius himself, we followed it. I noticed a sparkling in the grass and on the leaves: The sun had come out. The moisture in the air began to evaporate and the circle of visibility grew wider by the minute.

A black hole with the mass of the Sun would take 1066 years for this to occur, even if it never swallowed any outside matter along the way.
