Quotes About Eternity

How mankind defers from day to day the best it can do, and the most beautiful things it can enjoy, without thinking that every day may be the last one, and that lost time is lost eternity!
~ Max Muller
The Ankh represents the connection all life has to that which has gone before, the umbilicus. It is the sign of life infused into humans from the divine spark and thence from human to human. The Ankh refers to that which is protected, renewed and vitalized; it is the descent of the eternal principle, the Atum, into the physical plane.
~ Unknown
The Shen is a circle, representing endless time, eternity, bound to a horizontal bar, the earthly plane once more. It protects life by isolating and enclosing it, defining that which it surrounds, defending it against hostile forces.
~ Unknown
Death is the beginning of immortality.
~ Maximilien Robespierre
You're too young to decide to live forever.

I believe that each of us comes from the creator trailing wisps of glory.
~ Maya Angelou
Smrt je preseljenje iz ku?e u ku?u. To nije nestanak ve? drugo ro?enje. Kao što prsne ljuska jajeta kad se pile potpuno razvije, tako do?e vrijeme da se rastave duša i tijelo. Smrt je nužnost u neizbježnosti prelaska u drugi svijet, u kome ?ovjek dostiže svoj puni uspon.
~ Meša Selimovi?
Vrijeme nije samo proticanje, ve? i prisustvo. Vidljivi trag ne?ije ruke što je davno zapisala neravne redove, prkosi smrti, a rije?i i njihov smisao žive neprekidno, kao izvor koji ne presušuje, kao svjetlo koje se ne gasi.
~ Meša Selimovi?
Iz njega je izlazilo znanje kao rijeka, kao potop, zatrpavala su te imena, zbivanja, strah te hvatao od gužve što je u tom ?ovjeku živjela kao da sad postoji, kao da to nisu aveti i sjenke ve? živi ljudi koji neprestano djeluju, u nekoj strašnoj vje?nosti postojanja.
~ Meša Selimovi?
I ni?eg ne bi bilo od ovog što me boli, ni Harunove smrti, ni ove no?i posljednje. A možda bi i bilo, jer neka no? mora biti posljednja, i nešto mora biti što boli, uvijek.
~ Meša Selimovi?
Maybe it's better to adhere to the standards of heaven than to those of this world. Failure doesn't upset you, since you can always rely on eternity; you find your justifications in reasons beyond yourself. Personal loss is less important. And pain. And men. And the present day. Everything continues into eternity, faceless and vast, sleepily torpid and solemnly indifferent. Like the sea: it cannot lament the innumerable deaths that continually occur in it.
~ Meša Selimovi?
Bolje se držati nebeskih mera, nego obi?nih, ovdašnjih. Neuspjesi te ne uznemiruju, uvijek ra?unaš na beskrajno vrijeme, opravdanje je u razlozima izvan tebe. Li?ni gubitak postaje manje važan. I bol. I ?ovjek. I današnji dan. Sve se produžava na trajanje, bezli?no i ogromno, pospano tromo i sve?ano ravnodušno. Kao more: ne može da žali bezbrojne smrti što se u njemu neprestano dešavaju.
~ Meša Selimovi?
Puis, titubants, nous émergeâmes de l'ombre épaisse dans une autre moins dense, je compris que c'était la nuit, passagère - ce qui n'est pas éternel est si beau -, la nuit et la pluie d'été, je voulus tendre les mains pour qu'elle me lave de la boue souterraine, pour qu'elle éteigne ma fièvre, mais mes bras pendaient inertes, inutiles.
~ Meša Selimovi?
I swore I would love you 'til the end of time, so now I'm praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive.
~ Meat Loaf
I may have been dead for the past hundred and fifty years, Susannah,...but that doesn't mean I don't know how people say good night. And generally, when people say good night, they keep their tongues to themselves.
~ Meg Cabot
Are you aware that humanity is just a blip? Not even a blip. Just a fraction of a fraction of what the universe has been and will become? Talk about perspective. I figure I can't feel so entirely stupid about saying what I said because, first of all, it's true. And second of all, there will be no remnant of me or my stupidity. No fossil or geographical shift that can document, really, even the most important historical human beings, let alone my paltry admissions.
~ Unknown
never replied to forevers. Life was long, and full of surprises.
~ Megan Abbott
We get a fat-slicked chocolate chip muffin, which we heat up in the rotating toaster machine. Standing next to it, the heat radiating off its coils, I imagine myself suffering eternal damnation for sins not yet clear.
~ Megan Abbott
I will never stop loving you," he told her. "If we live a thousand lifetimes, I will never stop.
~ Megan Hart
But Jessica, we have all the time in the world.
~ Megan McCafferty
The Resurrection is not a single event, but a loosening of God's power and light into the earth and history that continues to alter all things, infusing them with the grace and power of God's own holiness. It is as though a door was opened, and what poured out will never be stopped, and that door cannot be closed.
~ Megan McKenna
