“The Universe is very, very big.

It also loves a paradox. For example, it has some extremely strict rules.

Rule number one: Nothing lasts forever.

Not you or your family or your house or your planet or the sun. It is an absolute rule. Therefore when someone says that their love will never die, it means that their love is not real, for everything that is real dies.

 

Rule number two: Everything lasts forever.”

― Craig Ferguson, Between the Bridge and the River

 

“The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance.

The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you,

a single moment in all your life.

You can turn over a new leaf every hour

if you choose.”

― Arnold Bennett

― Ann Brashares
