Days Gone By Quotes

“When memories, of
days gone by resurface;
with reflection and reminiscence of
my casual childishness,
may your eyes moisten
may your lips turn into a smile
unveiled, yet concealed.”
― Sanu Sharma

“We are like fruitflies, measuring everything in terms of our own lifespan. But since our lifespans are so short, our perspective is entirely wrong.

God, who inhabits eternity, sees things differently. He knows that our lives are just a mist. We should trust Him. It was not that long ago that Jesus came and it will not be that long before He returns.”
― Douglas Wilson

“دارت الأيام دورتها طاحنة في طريقها أعمار الناس،حاملة الصغار الى الشباب رامية بالمسنين بين أنياب الوهن والمرض”
― ناديا شومان, خُطى كُتبت علينا

“And then they were at the end of the line, the silver tracks, abandoned for eighteen years, ran on into rolling country. In 1910 people took the trolley out to Chessman's Park with vast picnic hampers. The track, never ripped up, still lay rusting among the hills.”
― Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

“Charlie and Douglas were the last to stand near the opened tongue of the trolley, the folding step, breathing electricity, watching Mr. Tridden's gloves on the brass controls....

"Well...so long again, Mir. Tridden."
"Good-by, boys."
"See you around, Mr. Tridden."
"See you around."

There was a soft sigh of the air; the door collapsed gently shut, tucking up its corrugated tongue. The trolley sailed slowly down the late afternoon, brighter than the sun, all tangerine, all flashing gold and lemon, turned a far corner, wheeling, and vanished, gone away.”
― Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

“But Douglas, standing on the lawn, was seeing how it would be tomorrow, when the men would pour hot tar over the silver tracks so you would never know a trolley had ever run this way. He knew it would take as many years as he could think of now to forget the tracks, no matter how deeply buried.”
― Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

“There is a proverbial ecstasy in the way we yearn for memories of bygone days!”
― Avijeet Das

“In old days, instead of asking a teacher, people looked at the dictionary to know the complete definition of teacher. Now Google becomes our teacher and to know about Google, people Google it.”
― Munia Khan

“It was strange. It was painful. It was wonderful. It was something unique to the twentieth century. To sit in a theater in 1994 and fall in love with a woman from 1929 … that would be like sitting in a theater in 1929 and falling in love with someone from 1864 … or like watching 1994 from the year 2059. These leaps across time are fantastic. Yet it’s inevitable that soon people will think nothing of watching a movie from a century before, any more than we would consider it odd to read a hundred-year-old book.”
― Mick LaSalle, Complicated Women: Sex and Power in Pre-Code Hollywood

“You only judge the quality of your life in retrospect, needing the wisdom of hindsight to assign comparative value. By then it is too damned late, because the days have slipped through your fingers. All you have left are memories, which you may tell over and over like the beads of an old woman's rosary, but they are only beads after all.”
― Ashok Ferrey, The Unmarriageable Man: A Novel

“But one day inexorably followed the next. The mongrels asked nothing of why they were there or why they even existed. The rain fell on the just and the unjust alike. The high and the low. And so without debate, seeking no excuses, they swallowed their delight and anger, sorrow and pleasure, and accepted things as they stood.”
― Rieko Yoshihara, Ai no Kusabi Vol. 5: Darkness
