... nothing lasts long. We all come to life and gather allies and build empires and die, all in a single moment - maybe a single pulse of some giant processor somewhere.
Robin Sloan
Image
They know these mornings well and love them desperately because they cannot last - these people who know that nothing lasts.
Peter S. Beagle
Image
Not even the visionary or mystical experience ever lasts very long. It is for art to capture that experience, to offer it to, in the case of literature, its readers to be, for a secular, materialist culture, some sort of replacement for what the love of god offers in the world of faith.
Salman Rushdie
Image
In life, and in sports, we all know that nothing lasts forever.
Peyton Manning
Image
Film acting is really the trick of doing moments. You rarely do a take that lasts more than 20 seconds. You really earn your spurs acting onstage. I needed to do that for myself. I would hate to say at the end of everything that I never did a stage play.
Sam Shepard
Image
Nothing lasts and yet nothing passes either, and nothing passes just because nothing lasts.
Philip Roth

I would have you imagine, then, that there exists in the mind of man a block of wax... and that we remember and know what is imprinted as long as the image lasts but when the image is effaced, or cannot be taken, then we forget or do not know.
Plato
Image
Physical pain is easily forgotten, but a moral chagrin lasts indefinitely.
Santiago Ramon y Cajal

I believe in whatever gets you throught the night. [...] Night is the hardest time to be alive. For me, anyway. It lasts so long, and four A.M.knows all my secrets.
Poppy Z. Brite
Image
There are astonishing stories of heroism not only in preventing bloodshed, but in building understanding which lasts.
Scilla Elworthy
Image
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.
Rachel Carson
Image
You could time a suburban story by your watch: it lasts as long as it takes a small furry animal that's lonely to find friends, or a small furry animal that's lost to find its parents it lasts as long as a quick avowal of love it lasts precisely as long as the average parent is disposed on a Tuesday night to spend reading aloud to children.
Rachel Cusk

Even before the withdrawal sets in, you'll do anything to get that feeling back, because as long as it lasts, nothing's wrong. It doesn't matter if you forget something, or lose something. Or if you fail someone. Nothing's wrong and everything feels good, and you never want it to end.
Rachel Vincent
Image
There is no doubt that genius lasts longer than beauty.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Nothing lasts-not even pain.
Ray Stannard Baker

Women's tennis is two sets of rubbish that lasts only half an hour.
Pat Cash
Image
Each building has to be beautiful, but cheap and fast, but it lasts forever. That is already an incredible battery of seemingly contradictory demands. So yes, I'm definitely perhaps contradictory person, but I operate in very contradictory times.
Rem Koolhaas
Image
Nothing lasts, you see, not even the thoughts inside you. And you musn't waste your time looking for them. Once a thing is gone, that is the end of it.
Paul Auster
Image
The work needs to have a certain longevity. It lasts longer than we do.
Richard Meier
Image
There's nothing like the eureka moment of knocking off a song that didn't exist before - I won't compare it to sex, but it lasts longer.
Paul McCartney
Image
Nothing lasts forever. But the thing is, you can reuse some. Use your mind. - Leo's Mother, The Lost Hero
Rick Riordan
Image
Everything passes. Joy. Pain. The moment of triumph the sigh of despair. Nothing lasts forever - not even this.
Paul Stewart
Image
I'm used to being the background. I'm used to having work that only lasts for a little while. I'm used to being - working in the real world, where real things are.
