I think we defy entropy and impermanence with our films and our poems. We hold onto each other a little harder and say, 'I will not let go. I do not accept the ephemeral nature of this moment. I'm going to extend it...forever. Or at least I'm going to try.'
Jason Silva
Image
Come to the sunset tree! The day is past and gone The woodman's axe lies free, And the reaper's work is done.
John Milton
Image
The tragedy of journalism lies in its impermanence the very topicality which gives it brilliance condemns it to an early death. Too often it is a process of flinging bright balloons in the path of the hurricane, a casting of priceless petals upon the rushing surface of a stream.
Vera Brittain

If a healthy soil is full of death, it is also full of life: worms, fungi, microorganisms of all kinds ... Given only the health of the soil, nothing that dies is dead for very long.
Wendell Berry
Image
Then again, if the plant is slow growing, and you are getting older, you may want to start with a larger plant. I find myself buying larger plants each year.
Billy Cannon

Old gardeners never die. They just spade away and then throw in the trowel.
Herbert V. Prochnow
Image
To put it concisely, we suffer when we resist the noble and irrefutable truth of impermanence and death.
Pema Chodron
Image
Planting is one of my great amusements, and even of those things which can only be for posterity, for a Septuagenary has no right to count on any thing but annuals.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
Perhaps family itself, like beauty, is temporary, and no discredit need attach to impermanence.
Gregory Maguire
Image
Nothing lasts. Not even a great sorrow.
Storm Jameson

It is good to have a reminder of death before us, for it helps us to understand the impermanence of life on this earth, and this understanding may aid us in preparing for our own death. He who is well prepared is he who knows that he is nothing compared with Wakan-Tanka, who is everything then he knows that world which is real.
Black Elk

Whenever ego suffers from fear of death & your practice turns to seeing impermanence, ego settles down.
Tsoknyi Rinpoche
Image
We are often sad and suffer a lot when things change, but change and impermanence have a positive side. Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible. Life itself is possible... If your daughter is not impermanent, she cannot grow up to become a woman. Then your grandchildren would never manifest.
Nhat Hanh
Image
Everything ends with flowers.
Helene Cixous
Image
We are identifying with what is passing so fear comes. We are trying to make steady and permanent what is by nature impermanent.
Mooji
Image
Be present, from moment to moment, right in the middle of the real stream of time. That gives you spiritual security. That is why in Buddhism we don't try to escape from impermanence we face time itself in our daily living.
Dainin Katagiri
Image
Some people, sweet and attractive, and strong and healthy, happen to die young. They are masters in disguise teaching us about impermanence.
Dalai Lama

Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.
Steve Jobs

I just think that the reality of life is impermanence. That's the foundation of understanding what Yoga is, and we're here for however long we're here, and then it's over. And I've known this since I was a kid.
Gary Kraftsow
Image
A thousand years ago five minutes were Equal to forty ounces of fine sand. Outstare the stars. Infinite foretime and Infinite aftertime: above your head They close like giant wings, and you are dead.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
Pity! The southerly trees have shed their leaves. Nobody comes to appreciate the mountain's beauty. Tomorrow I too will float away. My reflection gone from cool streams.
Cheng Man-ch'ing
Image
For the sake of goodness and love, man shall let death have no sovereignty over his thoughts.
Thomas Mann
Image
It is better to live in a state of impermanence than in one of finality.
Gaston Bachelard
Image
The 'looking forward' so prevalent in the late 1990s was bound to end once the new millennium began. Like some others of that era, I predicted a new focus on the moment, on real experience, and on what things are actually worth right now. Then 9/11 magnified this sensibility, forcing America as a nation to contend with its own impermanence.
