Time’s violence rends the soul; by the rent eternity enters.

 Do not lessen the time of following desire, for the wasting of time is an abomination to the spirit.

In time history must become a fairy tale—it will become again what it was in the beginning.

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 most, time’s carcass.

The past grows gradually around one, like a placenta for dying.
