40. “Who lives longer? The man who takes heroin for two years and dies, or a man who lives on roast beef, water and potatoes 'till 95? One passes his 24 months in eternity. All the years of the beefeater are lived only in time.”
Aldous Huxley
Life, Time, Eternity, Experience, Philosophical Question, Existential Reflection
41. “The present moment is the only aperture through which the soul can pass out of time into eternity, through which grace can pass out of eternity into the soul, and through which love can pass from one soul in time to another soul in time.” Aldous Huxley Present, Eternity, Soul, Time, Love, Spiritual Connection
44. “You should not take old people who are already dead seriously. It does them injustice. We immortals do not like things to be taken seriously. We like joking. Seriousness, young man, is an accident of time. It consists, I don't mind telling you in confidence, in putting too high a value on time. I, too, once put too high a value on time. For that reason I wished to be a hundred years old. In eternity, however, there is no time, you see. Eternity is a mere moment, just long enough for a joke.” Hermann Hesse Immortals, Seriousness, Eternity, Temporal Perspective, Spiritual Wisdom, Cosmic Humor
46. “If time and space, as sages say, Are things which cannot be, The sun which does not feel decay No greater is than we. So why, Love, should we ever pray To live a century? The butterfly that lives a day Has lived eternity.” T.S. Eliot Time, Space, Eternity, Philosophical Reflection, Existential Paradox, Poetic Metaphor
47. “Monotony is the most beautiful or the most atrocious thing. The most beautiful if it is a reflection of eternity – the most atrocious if it is the sign of an unvarying perpetuity. It is time surpassed or time sterilized.” Simone Weil Monotony, Eternity, Reflection, Beauty Contrast, Time Stagnation, Life’s Flow
58. “For wisdom is the property of the dead, A something incompatible with life; and power, Like everything that has the stain of blood, A property of the living; but no stain Can come upon the visage of the moon When it has looked in glory from a cloud.” William Butler Yeats Wisdom Of Dead, Bloodstained Power, Moon’s Glory, Eternity, Reflection, Duality
