And thus does life go on, until death accomplishes the catastrophe in silence, takes the worn frame within his hand, and, as if it were a dried-up scroll, crumbles it in his grasp to ashes. The monuments of kingdoms, too, shall disappear. Still the globe shall move; still the stars shall burn; still the sun shall paint its colors on the day, and its colors on the year. What, then, is the individual, or what even is the race in the sublime recurrings of Time? Years, centuries, cycles, are nothing to these. The sun that measures out the ages of our planet is not a second-hand on the great dial of the universe.
- quote by Henry Giles
Art is long, and Time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave.
- quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

- quote by J. Michael Straczynski
As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.
- quote by Seneca
- quote by Robert Louis Stevenson
Bankrupt of life, yet prodigal of ease.
