Dhalgren
In the sight of eternity
I realize my present state
A leaf in the storm of time
Drifting to the final gate
GOLDEN DAWN
"Sub Specie Aeternitatis", The Art of Dreaming
Nobody could stand an eternity of Heaven.
GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
Man and Superman
This day is not a sieve, losing time. With each passing minute, each passing year, there's this deepening awareness that I am filling, gaining time. We stand on the brink of eternity.
ANN VOSKAMP
One Thousand Gifts
We have the hunger for eternity in our souls, the thought of eternity in our hearts, the destination for eternity written on our inmost being, and the need to ally ourselves with eternity proclaimed by the most short-lived trifles of time. Either these things will be the blessing or the curse of our lives.
ALEXANDER MACLAREN
Sermons Preached in Manchester
He that will often put eternity and the world before him, and who will dare to look steadfastly at both of them, will find that the more he contemplates them, the former will grow greater and the latter less.
CHARLES CALEB COLTON

I will pause to consider this eternity from which the subsequent ones derive.

Forever is composed of Nows--
'Tis not a different time--
Except for Infiniteness--
And Latitude of Home--
EMILY DICKINSON
"Forever is composed of Nows"
The best way to deal with eternity is by living it one day at a time.
ALYSON NOËL
Evermore
Eternity is said not to be an extension of time but an absence of time, and sometimes it seemed to me that her abandonment touched that strange mathematical point of endlessness, a point with no width, occupying no space.
GRAHAM GREENE
The End of the Affair
