Tempus Fugit ...
“Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.”
--Henry Van Dyke.
“History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives.”
–Abba Eban“I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.”
–Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy“Generation, regeneration, again, again, as in a ritual, with blood-stained vestments and nail-torn hands, children of Merlin, chasing a gleam. Men, too, of Eve, forever building Edens—and kicking them apart in berserk fury because somehow it isn’t the same. (AGH! AGH! AGH!—an idiot screams his mindless anguish amid the rubble. But quickly! let it be inundated by the choir, chanting Alleluias at ninety decibels.)”
--Miller, A Canticle for Liebowitz“Never put off until tomorrow what you can get someone else to do today.”
—Douglass Ottati“Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.”
–Mark Twain“Never put off until tomorrow what can be avoided altogether.”
–Ann Landers"It was difficult to believe that a night so long to me, could be short to anyone else."
--Charles Dickens, David Copperfield"One song /Glory /One song /Before I go /Glory /One song to leave behind/ Find one song /One last refrain/ ...Glory/ Like a sunset/ One song /To redeem this empty life/ Time flies /And then - no need to endure anymore /Time dies."
-- Jonathan Larson, Rent (The Musical)
