Silence is as deep as eternity; speech, shallow as time
Thomas Carlyle
We've traveled too far, and our momentum has taken over; we move idly towards eternity, without possibility of reprieve or hope of explanation
Tom Stoppard
Eternity is not something that begins after you're dead. It is going on all the time. We are in it now.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Love is the emblem of eternity;it confounds all notion of time;effaces all memory of a beginning,all fear of an end.
Anne Louise Germaine de Stael
I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life and with the awareness and a glimpse of the marvelous structure of the existing world, together with the devoted striving to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifest
Albert Einstein
Be assured that just as an hour is only part of a day, so life on Earth is only part of eternity
C.L. Allen
Zen opens a man's eyes to the greatest mystery as it is daily and hourly performed; it enlarges the heart to embrace eternity of time and infinity of space in its every palpitation; it makes us live in the world as if walking in the garden of Eden
D. T. Suzuki
Meditation speaks. It speaks in silence. It reveals. It reveals to the aspirant that matter and spirit are one, quantity and quality are one, the immanent and the transcendent are one. It reveals that life can never be the mere existence of seventy or eighty years between birth and death, but is, rather, Eternity itself
Sri Chinmoy
After an eternity of seeking the sudden threshold of seeing and finding leaves one filled with a strange paradox of ecstasy and grief. I was born to see.
Joy Page
The aphorism in which I am the first master among Germans, are the forms of "eternity"; my ambition is to say in ten sentences what everyone else says in a book - what everyone else does not say in a book.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If one understands eternity as timelessness, and not as an unending timespan, then whoever lives in the present lives for all time.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Beauty is a precious trace that eternity causes to appear to us and that it takes away from us. A manifestation of eternity, and a sign of death as well.
Eugene Ionesco
