time quotes
- Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography. For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form -- it may be called fleeting or eternal -- is in neither case the stuff that life is made of. (Walter Benjamin) [amount/time/life/form]

- Occupation is the scythe of time. ( Napoleon I) [time]
- Something of vengeance I had tasted for the first time; as aromatic wine it seemed, on swallowing, warm and racy: its after-flavor, metallic and corroding, gave me a sensation as if I had been poisoned. (Charlotte Bronte) [time/wine]
- Never the time and the place and the loved one all together! (Robert Browning) [time]

- Birth and death are so closely related that one could not destroy either without destroying the other at the same time. It is extinction that makes creation possible. (Samuel Butler) [death/destroy/time/creation]
- Dwell not on the past. Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it behind. Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant of time. From this moment onwards you can be an entirely different person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed. (Eileen Caddy) [past/point/time/moment]
- To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well. (Albert Camus) [time/faith]
- Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time. (Albert Camus) [beauty/time]
- A modern man has nothing to add to modernism, if only because he has nothing to oppose it with. The well-adapted drop off the dead limb of time like lice. (Elias Canetti) [time]
- There is no doubt: the study of man is just beginning, at the same time that his end is in sight. (Elias Canetti) [time]
- Life is a little gleam of time between two eternity s. (Thomas Carlyle) [life/time]
- We were wise indeed, could we discern truly the signs of our own time; and by knowledge of its wants and advantages, wisely adjust our own position in it. Let us, instead of gazing idly into the obscure distance, look calmly around us, for a little, on the perplexed scene where we stand. Perhaps, on a more serious inspection, something of its perplexity will disappear, some of its distinctive characters and deeper tendencies more clearly reveal themselves; whereby our own relations to it, our own true aims and endeavors in it, may also become clearer. (Thomas Carlyle) [time/knowledge/position/look]
- For the superior morality, of which we hear so much, we too would desire to be thankful: at the same time, it were but blindness to deny that this superior morality is properly rather an inferior criminality, produced not by greater love of Virtue, but by greater perfection of Police; and of that far subtler and stronger Police, called Public Opinion. (Thomas Carlyle) [/desire/time/]
- If time is precious, no book that will not improve by repeated reading deserves to be read at all. (Thomas Carlyle) [time/willpower/reading]
- The illimitable, silent, never-resting thing called Time, rolling, rushing on, swift, silent, like an all-embracing ocean-tide, on which we and all the universe swim like exhalations, like apparitions which are, and then are not: this is forever very literally a miracle; a thing to strike us dumb, for we have no word to speak about it. (Thomas Carlyle) [thing/time/universe/thing]
