I give the moment permanence. — © Manuel Alvarez Bravo
I give the moment permanence.
Life is fleeting, and permanence in this world is something we all strive for. The best way to achieve permanence is through philanthropy.
Stone and sea are deep in life Two unalterable symbols of the world Permanence at rest And permanence in motion Participants in the power that remains
Writing, printing, and the Internet give a false sense of security about the permanence of culture.
Stars and blossoming fruit-trees: utter permanence and extreme fragility give an equal sense of eternity.
Permanence of instinct must go with permanence of form...The history of the present must teach us the history of the past.
A novel must give a sense of permanence as well as a sense of life.
[Christ] does not give [men] light but from moment to moment; the instant He withdraws, all is darkness.... God does not give them a stock of holiness.
That's the most stupid expression in the world. 'I fell in love'—as if you had no choice. There's a moment, there's always a moment; I can do this, I can give in to this or I can resist it. I don't know when your moment was but I bet there was one.
Men who have lived significant lives are men who never waited: not for money, security, ease, or women.

Nature admits of no permanence in the relation between man and woman. It is only man's egoism that wants to keep woman like some buried treasure. All endeavors to introduce permanence in love, the most changeable thing in this changeable human existence, have gone shipwreck in spite of religious ceremonies, vows, and legalities.
... I want to be one of those people who are always to be found at home, nice restful people whom everybody likes because they give a feeling of permanence to this rushing world.
Yes, there is a Government of this changing world. The Government is not in the changing world. It is in the Realm of Permanence, and though the Realm of Permanence pervades this world of change, it cannot be seen by mortal eyes.
There is no such thing as permanence at all. Everything is constantly changing. Everything is in a flux. Because you cannot face the impermanence of all relationships, you invent sentiments, romance, and dramatic emotions to give them certainty. Therefore you are always in conflict.
While the impressionists make a table to give one particular moment and subordinate the life of the table to its resemblance to this moment, we synthesize every moment (time, place, form, color-tone) and thus build the table.
The moment you give up is the moment you let someone else win.
