Permenance Quotes

“You are reformed, you may be a better man, but you are not a different man. How can you convince yourself of such a thing when you are so conversant with the theology of your faith? From one end of this life to the other, you carry with you all that you have done. Absolution grants you forgiveness for it, but does not expunge the past. The man you were still lives within you, repressed by the man you have struggled to become.”
― Dean Koontz, Brother Odd

“Since nothing is permanent, will transience conform to this law and become permanent?”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“The stars shine for everyone,” said the wanderer.

“But not everyone sees them,” replied the dreamer.

“That is true,” he agreed. “To see is more than opening one’s eyes. It is an act of presence, an acknowledgment of what exists beyond oneself. When you truly see, you accept.. not to alter, not to own, but to honor what simply is. The stars, you see, ask for nothing in return, yet they give endlessly.”

“And what do they give?” asked the dreamer.

“They give light without choosing, direction without pride, and hope without reason. That is love, isn’t it? To give without asking, to illuminate without demanding, to exist quietly yet profoundly.”

The dreamer smiled. “Then, love must be as infinite as the stars.”

“No,” the wanderer replied softly. “Love is finite. It is in the moment you choose to share it. But in those moments, it feels eternal.”
