“Maggots gnaw on time” — Erna Grcic Quote

“Maggots gnaw on time”

“Be not afraid of whirlpools,”

“You can hear it in the midst of the night”

“Understanding is not absolutely final.”

“Too often we only identify the crucial points in our lives in retrospect. At the time we are too absorbed in the fetid detail of the moment to spot where it is leading us. But not this time. I was experiencing one of my dad’s deafening moments. If my life could be understood as a meal of many courses (and let’s be honest, much of it actually was), then I had finished the starters and I was limbering up for the main event. So far, of course, I had made a stinking mess of it. I had spilled the wine. I had dropped my cutlery on the floor and sprayed the fine white linen with sauce. I had even spat out some of my food because I didn’t like the taste of it.”

“You're going to spend infinitely more time being dead than alive, so it's probably best to make peace with it while you can.”

“There’s always so much to see in a period of 100 years, including little time.”

“It's time for the human race to enter the solar system.”

“Wisteria never forgets.”
