In life nothing goes on for ever, even if it looks exactly as if it would.
Ursula Bloom
Image
Men fear silence as they fear solitude, because both give them a glimpse of the terror of life's nothingness.
Andre Maurois
Image
Nothing in the world is permanent, and we’re foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we’re still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
We must endure our thoughts all night, until the bright obvious stands motionless in the cold.
Wallace Stevens

The whole city gives you the impression of impermanence. You have the feeling that one day someone is going to yell, Cut! Strike it! and then the stagehands will scurry out and remove the mountains, the movie-star homes, the Hollywood Bowl--everything.
Allan Sherman

Life's impermanence, I realized, is what makes every single day so precious. It's what shapes our time here. It's what makes it so important than not a single moment be wasted.
Wes Moore

Drive your cart and plow over the bones of the dead.
William Blake
Image
By contemplating the impermanence of everything in the world, we are forced to recognize that every time we do something could be the last time we do it, and this recognition can invest the things we do with a significance and intensity that would otherwise be absent. We will no longer sleepwalk through our life.
William Braxton Irvine
Image
If we are not empty, we become a block of matter. We cannot breathe, we cannot think. To be empty means to be alive, to breathe in and to breathe out. We cannot be alive if we are not empty. Emptiness is impermanence, it is change. We should not complain about impermanence, because without impermanence, nothing is possible.
Nhat Hanh

For we must bear in mind that the greater number of garden pictures known to us are taken from tombs.
Marie-Luise Gothein
Image
Lack of love for the vegetative, subtle, cthonic, pagan, and sexy aspect of the world means death.
Alan Watts
Image
Come my spade. There is no ancient gentlemen but gardeners, ditchers, and grave-makers they hold up Adam's profession.
William Shakespeare
Image
Fear no more the heat o' th' sun Nor the furious winters' rages Thou thy worldly task hast done, Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages. Golden lads and girls all must, As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.
William Shakespeare
Image
Leaving the people and places you love, is a reminder of the impermanence of this life. And the permanence of the next.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
One must be deeply aware of the impermanence of the world.
Dogen
Image
Is not impermanence the very fragrance of our days?
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Everything you cherish Throws you over in the end Thorns will grab your ankles From the gardens that you tend.
Robert Hunter
Image
Impermanence is the law of the universe.
Carlene Hatcher Polite
Image
This is the last of earth! I am content.
John Quincy Adams
Image
This physical world, though necessary to our evolution, is the embodiment of impermanence, of constant change. Thus, we take care not to become overly attached to it.
Sivaya Subramuniyaswami
Image
Breathe and you dwell in the here and now, breath and you see impermanence is life.

Realizing that I can't control or change the impermanence of things in human life is daunting.
Michael Beckwith

On to the Next Dream became about much more than me facing a challenging situation it became about how all of us feel when we're thrust unexpectedly into change. It's about how we all hold onto personalized visions of our lives, our city, and our culture, and what we do when reality forces us to confront the impermanence of those visions.
