“Time will pass and seasons will come and go.” — Roy Bean Quote

“Time will pass and seasons will come and go.”

“You have been tried by twelve good men and true, not of your peers but as high above you as heaven is of hell, and they have said you are guilty.”

“And Fall, with her yeller harvest moon and the hills growin' brown and golden under a sinkin' sun.”

“And finally Winter, with its bitin', whinin' wind, and all the land will be mantled with snow.”

“They say that Time and Space exist not, save in our thoughts. If so, then that which has been is, and the Past can never cease.”

“[T]hen all collapsed, and the great shroud of the sea rolled on as it rolled five thousand years ago.”

“You can find something truly important in an ordinary minute.”

“Is there anything more plausible than a second hand? And yet it takes only the smallest pleasure or pain to teach us time's malleability. Some emotions speed it up, others slow it down; occasionally, it seems to go missing--until the eventual point when it really does go missing, never to return.”

“Had I been less firmly resolved upon settling down definitively to work, I should perhaps have made an effort to begin at once. But since my resolution was explicit, since within twenty-four hours, in the empty frame of the following day where everything was so well-arranged because I myself was not yet in it, my good intention would be realized without difficulty, it was better not to start on an evening when I felt ill-prepared. The following days were not, alas, to prove more propitious. But I was reasonable. It would have been puerile, on the part of one who had waited now for years, not to put up with a postponement of two or three days. Confident that by the day after tomorrow I should have written several pages, I said not a word more to my parents of my decision; I preferred to remain patient and then to bring to a convinced and comforted grandmother a sample of work that was already under way. Unfortunately the next day was not that vast, extraneous expanse of time to which I had feverishly looked forward. When it drew to a close, my laziness and my painful struggle to overcome certain internal obstacles had simply lasted twenty-four hours longer. And at the end of several days, my plans not having matured, I had no longer the same hope that they would be realized at once, and hence no longer the heart to subordinate everything else to their realization: I began once again to keep late hours...”
