Life is a fragment, a moment between two eternities.

William Ellery Channing

Before my birth there was infinite time, and after my death, inexhaustible time. I never thought of it before: I'd been living luminously between two eternities of darkness.

Orhan Pamuk

You should love something while you have it, love it fully and without reservation, even if you know you'll lose it someday. We lose everything. If you're trying to avoid loss, there's no point in taking another breath, or letting your heart beat one more time. It all ends...That's all life is. Breathing in, breathing out. The space between two breaths.

Leah Raeder

One life; a little gleam of Time between two Eternities; no second chance to us for evermore!

Thomas Carlyle

Already, it is later than you think for your earthly life at best, is only a blink of an eye between two eternities.

Og Mandino

Life is a narrow vale between the cold and barren peaks of two eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights. We cry aloud

Robert Green Ingersoll

Time,- that black and narrow isthmus between two eternities.

Charles Caleb Colton

Dogs don't know about beginnings, and they don't speculate on matters that occurred before their time. Dogs also don't know - or at least don't accept - the concept of death. With no concept of beginnings or endings dogs probably don't know that for people having a dog as a life companion provides a streak of light between two eternities of darkness.

Stanley Coren

The image is a pure creation of the mind. It cannot be born from a comparison but from a juxtaposition of two more or less distant realities. The more the relationship between the two juxtaposed realities is distant and true, the stronger the image will be - the greater its emotional power and poetic reality..

Pierre Reverdy

Vain, weak-built isthmus, which dost proudly rise Up between two eternities!

Abraham Cowley

And the nature of split screen is a disconnect: It's a line between two characters, two images, two realities.

Sam Levinson

Life is a vacation from two eternities.

William S. Burroughs

I had always spoken about the space between the art object and the person looking at it as this dynamic space, which I referred to over and over. So the idea of the space between two things was sort of interesting to me.

Robert Barry

Breathing is meditation; life is a meditation. You have to breathe in order to live, so breathing is how you get in touch with the sacred space of your heart.

Willow Smith

What, really, is wanted from a neighborhood? Convenience, certainly, an absence of major aggravation, to be sure. But perhaps mostof all, ideally, what is wanted is a comfortable background, a breathing space of intermission between the intensities of private life and the calculations of public life.
