“Every tear from every eye / Becomes a babe in Eternity.”
William Blake
“Modernity is the transient, the fleeting, the contingent; it is one half of art, the other being the eternal and the immovable.”
Charles Baudelaire
“If Nature denies eternity to beings, it follows that their destruction is one of her laws. Now, once we observe that destruction is so useful to her that she absolutely cannot dispense with it from this moment onward the idea of annihilation which we attach to death ceases to be real what we call the end of the living animal is no longer a true finish, but a simple transformation, a transmutation of matter. According to these irrefutable principles, death is hence no more than a change of form, an imperceptible passage from one existence into another.”
Marquis De Sade
“Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better. Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.”
Thomas Carlyle
“Space is to place as eternity is to time.”

“That is the road we all have to take - over the Bridge of Sighs into eternity.”
Soren Kierkegaard
“Fame and riches are fleeting. Stupidity is eternal”
Don Williams Jr
“I am doomed to an eternity of compulsive work. No set goal achieved satisfies. Success only breeds a new goal. The golden apple devoured has seeds. It is endless.”
Bette Davis
“Life is the soul's nursery -Its training place for the destinies of eternity.”
William Makepeace Thackeray
“When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of space of which I am ignorant, and which knows me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there, why now rather than then?”
Blaise Pascal
