Everything Flows Nothing Stays Still

Quote Author

Heraclitus
Greek - Philosopher
544 BC - 483 BC

Everything flows and nothing abides. Everything gives way and nothing stays fixed.

Heraclitus

Everything flows and nothing stays.

Homer

Everything flows and nothing abides; everything gives way and nothing stays fixed... Cool things become warm, the warm grows cool; the moist dries, the parched becomes moist... It is in changing that things find repose.

Heraclitus

Everything in the universe is constantly changing, and nothing stays the same, and we must understand how quickly time flows by if we are to wake up and truly live our lives.

Ruth Ozeki

All is flux, nothing stays still, as Heraclitus said. By the time I wrote this, everything has changed in the universe; everything but the taste of the cakes baked at home!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

Nothing is forever, but there's a continuing stream of people who go through our lives and continue with us... Nothing just stops and stays... But it flows on... Like a river.

Danielle Steel

There are two ways to look at life. The first view is that nothing stays the same and that nothing is inherently connected, and that the only driving force in anyone's life is entropy. The second is that everything pretty much stays the same (more or less) and that everything is completely connected, even if we don't realize it.

Chuck Klosterman

Searching for nothing Wondering if I’ll change I’m trying everything But everything still stays the same I thought if I showed you I could fly Wouldn’t need anyone by my side I'm running backwards With broken wings I know I’ll die

Sully Erna

Everything is a meaningless struggle against nothing and when people say that the world has become a better place that is a false development-optimism. Nothing exists which ever becomes better. Everything stays the same. Somehow, there is nothing. That is so sad. Nothing to come to. Everything is an illusion. A very sweet illusion.

Odd Nerdrum

Beauty and love are all my dream; They change not with the changing day; Love stays forever like a stream That flows but never flows away.

Andrew Young

I wanted to incorporate everything, understand everything, because time is cruel and nothing stays the same.

Norman Rush

Nothing passes. Everything stays with you. Everything makes it’s mark.

Shelagh Delaney

All is flux; nothing stays still.

Heraclitus

Nothing endures but change. There is nothing permanent except change. All is flux, nothing stays still.

Heraclitus

She sat back on her heels and nodded. The thought experiment she proposed was certainly odd, but her point was simple. Everything in the universe was constantly changing, and nothing stays the same, and we must understand how quickly time flows by if we are to wake up and truly live our lives. That’s what it means to be a time being, old Jiko told me, and then she snapped her crooked fingers again. And just like that, you die.

Ruth Ozeki

Human nature stays the same, the one thing that stays constant, like death and taxes. And people still want good stories!
