Seneca
“It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it. Life is long enough, and a sufficiently generous amount has been given to us for the highest achievements if it were all well invested. But when it is wasted in heedless luxury and spent on no good activity, we are forced at last by death’s final constraint to realize that it has passed away before we knew it was passing. So it is: we are not given a short life but we make it short, and we are not ill-supplied but wasteful of it… Life is long if you know how to use it.”
Seneca, On the Shortness of Life: Life Is Long if You Know How to Use It

George Santayana
“Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it.”
George Santayana, The Life of Reason: Five Volumes in One

George Santayana
“The fact of having been born is a bad augury for immortality.”
George Santayana, The Life of Reason: Five Volumes in One

“Man perishes; his corpse turns to dust; all his relatives pass away. But writings make him remembered in the mouth of the reader.”
The Teaching of Ani

Joseph Campbell
“Eternity isn't some later time. Eternity isn't even a long time. Eternity has nothing to do with time. Eternity is that dimension of here and now that all thinking in temporal terms cuts off.... the experience of eternity right here and now, in all things, whether thought of as good or as evil, is the function of life.”
Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth
