Time

"These wrinkles are nothing These gray hairs are nothing,This stomach which sagswith old food, these bruisedand swollen ankles, my darkening brain,they are nothing. I am the same boymy mother used to kiss."

"I spit into the face of Time That has transfigured me."

"What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare?"

"Art is long, and Time is fleeting."

"O words are poor receipts for what time hath stole away"

"Times change, as do our wills, What we are - is ever changing; All the world is made of change, And forever attaining new qualities."

"I fancied my luck to be witnessing yet another full moon. True, I’d seen hundreds of full moons in my life, but they were not limitless. When one starts thinking of the full moon as a common sight that will come again to one’s eyes ad-infinitum, the value of life is diminished and life goes by uncherished. ‘This may be my last moon,’ I sighed, feeling a sudden sweep of sorrow; and went back to reading more of The Odyssey."

"To the Virgins, To Make much of Time Gather ye rose-buds while ye may,Old Time is still a-flying;And this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying. The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, The higher he’s a-getting,The sooner will his race be run, And nearer he is to setting. That age is best which is the first, When youth and blood are warmer;But being spent, the worse, and worst Times still succeed the former. Then be not coy, but use your time, And while you may, go marry;For having lost but once your prime, You may for ever tarry."

"There is no Space or Time Only intensity, And tame things Have no immensity"

"I will come back to you, I swear I will;And you will know me still. I shall be only a little taller Than when I went."

"Writing is not a matter of time, but a matter or of space. If you don't keep space in your head for writing, you won't write even if you have the time."

"Had we but world enough and time, This coyness, lady, were no crime. We would sit down, and think which way To walk, and pass our long love’s day."

"As wave is driven by wave And each, pursued, pursues the wave ahead, So time flies on and follows, flies, and follows, Always, for ever and new. What was before Is left behind; what never was is now; And every passing moment is renewed."

"Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past."

"The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."

"I give you this to take with you:Nothing remains as it was. If you know this, you canbegin again, with pure joy in the uprooting."

"Am I going with time slowly or is time going with me?"

"Time is your weapon, If you lose it, you will lose the battle."

"Time is always ready."

"My expectations for the future? A beautiful past."
