“One day we were born, one day we shall die, the same day, the same sec...” — Samuel Beckett Quote

“One day we were born, one day we shall die, the same day, the same second.”

“Habit is a great deadener.”

“You can't have everything, I've often noticed it.”

“All I know is what the words know, and dead things, and that makes a handsome little sum, with a beginning and a middle and an end, as in the well-built phrase and the long sonata of the dead.”

“The more people I meet the happier I become.”

“In the landscape of extinction, precision is next to godliness.”

“The busy have no time for tears.”

“Books have a unique way of stopping time in a particular moment and saying: Let’s not forget this.”

“Time's never up", she whispered, not looking at me, but at my canvas. "Just like there's always time for pain, there's always time for healing. Of course there is.”

“When it comes to ones dearest to our hearts, no hours bought can ever replace the minutes lost.”

“One of the schools of Tlön goes so far as to negate time; it reasons that the present is indefinite, that the future has no reality other than as a present hope, that the past has no reality other than as a present memory. Another school declares that all time has already transpired and that our life is only the crepuscular and no doubt falsified an mutilated memory or reflection of an irrecoverable process. Another, that the history of the universe — and in it our lives and the most tenuous detail of our lives — is the scripture produced by a subordinate god in order to communicate with a demon. Another, that the universe is comparable to those cryptographs in which not all the symbols are valid and that only what happens every three hundred nights is true. Another, that while we sleep here, we are awake elsewhere and that in this way every man is two men.”
