Impermanent Quotes

“Everything changes. The leaves, the weather, the colour of your hair, the texture of your skin. The feelings you have today - whether they kill you or enthrall you - won’t be the same tomorrow, so let go. Celebrate. Enjoy. Nothing lasts, except your decision to celebrate everything, everyone, for the beauty that is there within each moment, each smile, each impermanent flicker of infinity.”
― Vironika Tugaleva

― Vincent H. O'Neil, The Unused Path: Skills for living an authentic life

“You were a comet, weren’t you?
Blazing through the quiet orbit of my life—

built constellations around your absence,
named them after all the almosts we never became.”
― D'los Ángeles

“Where does my next thought come from?
Hold your next thought as long as you can,
Try it.
It’s like holding water in your hands.
Like holding fog.
Allusory.
A new one springs up
From the nowhere
And dissipates as quickly.”
― Eric Overby, Legacy
