Scientists are peeping toms at the keyhole of eternity.
Arthur Koestler
Eternity is a negative idea clothed with a positive name. It supposes in that to which it is applied a present existence, and is the negation of a beginning or of an end of that existence
William Paley
The world -- A small parenthesis in eternity.
Thomas Browne
If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
What nature creates has eternity in it.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Space is to place as eternity is to time.
Joseph Joubert
Eternity is in love with the productions of time.
William Blake
Every situation, every moment -- is of infinite worth; for it is the representative of a whole eternity.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To wait an Hour-is long- If Love be just beyond- To wait Eternity-is short- If Love reward the end
Emily Dickinson
My soul may be returned to the heavens but my heart will remain with you for all eternity.
Richard Dominguez
And so the souls of men and their wine live for eternity with the grace of their God.
James Biancamano
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.
Paulo Coelho
These are islands in time -- with nothing to date them on the calendar of mankind. In these areas it is as though a person were looking backward into the ages and forward untold years. Here are bits of eternity, which have a preciousness beyond all accounting.
Harvey Broome
When we meditate we expand, spreading our wings like a bird, trying to enter consciously into Infinity, Eternity and Immortality, welcoming them into our aspiring consciousness. We see, feel and grow into the entire universe of Light-Delight.
Sri Chinmoy
The religions whose theology is least preoccupied with events in time and most concerned with eternity, have been consistently less violent and more humane in political practice. Unlike early Judaism, Christianity and Mohammedanism (all obsessed with time) Hinduism and Buddhism have never been persecuting faiths,have preached almost no holy wars and have refrained from that proselytizing religious imperialism which has gone hand in hand with political and economic oppression of colored people.
Aldous Huxley
