Chronic Being
"To the phantasmagorias of space to which the flaneur abandons himself, correspond the phantasmagorias of time indulged by the gambler. Gambling converts time into a narcotic."- Walter Benjamin
"At every moment, we are crushed by the idea and the sensation of time."- Charles Baudelaire
"Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger
that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire."- Jorge Luis Borges
"You could not step twice into the same rivers; for other waters are ever flowing on to you."- Heraclitus
"At the heart of this absence, works of art are in perpetual dissolution and in perpetual motion, each one being but a marker of time, a moment of the whole, a moment that would like desperately to be this whole, in which absence alone rests without rest. And because this wish is impossible, the work itself, as it becomes more and more conscious of this impossibility, always reaches further to assert itself as a pathetic sign, a fascinating arrow, pointed in the direction of the impossible."- Maurice Blanchot
"Time is waste of money."- Oscar Wilde
"We should not say that one man's hour is worth another man's hour, but rather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time is everything, man is nothing: he is at the most time's carcass."- Karl Marx
"Everything passes, everything perishes, everything palls."- French Saying.
"Always returning upon the paths of time, we are neither ahead nor behind: late is early, near far."- Maurice Blanchot
"All things change, nothing is extinguished. . . . There is nothing in the whole world which is permanent. Everything flows onward; all things are brought into being with a changing nature; the ages themselves glide by in constant movement."- Ovid
"Has time flown away? Have I not fallen…into the well of eternity?"- Friedrich Nietzsche
"As if you could kill time without injuring eternity."- Henry David Thoreau
"For tribal man space was the uncontrollable mystery. For technological man it is time that occupies the same role."- Marshall McLuhan
"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace."- Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.
"The time is out of joint."- William Shakespeare, Hamlet
"'All that is straight lies,' the dwarf murmured contemptuously. 'All truth is crooked; time itself is a circle.'"- Friedrich Nietzsche
