A Quote by William S. Burroughs

Life is a vacation from two eternities. — © William S. Burroughs
Life is a vacation from two eternities.
Life is a vacation from two eternities, who wants to waste those precious years worrying about what happens when you get back to forever?
Life is a fragment, a moment between two eternities.
One life; a little gleam of Time between two Eternities; no second chance to us for evermore!
Life is a breathing-space between two eternities, a holiday with appalling realities behind and before.
Luxury cruises were designed to make something unbearable (a two week transatlantic crossing) seem bearable. There's no need to do it now, there are planes. You wouldn't take a vacation where you ride on a stage coach for two months but there's all-you-can-eat shrimp. You wouldn't take a vacation where you had an old-timey appendectomy without anesthesia while steel drums play. You might take a vacation while riding on a camel for two days IF they gave you those little animal towels wearing your sunglasses.
Already, it is later than you think for your earthly life at best, is only a blink of an eye between two eternities.
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
If you go on vacation for one week, you'll come back to two weeks of work. If you go on vacation for two weeks, you'll come back to four weeks of work. If you go on vacation for three weeks, people seem to figure it out for themselves.
The past, the future: - two eternities!
You and I are standing this very second at the meeting place of two eternities: the vast past that has endured forever, and the future that is plunging on to the last syllable of recorded time. We can't possible live in either of those eternities - no, not even for a split second. But, by trying to do so, we can wreck both our bodies and our minds. So let's be content to live the only time we can possible live: from now until bedtime.
Is not every meanest day the confluence of two eternities?
How we conduct ourselves in this life will determine what we will be in all the eternities to come. To receive the blessings of the sealing that our Heavenly Father has given to us, we have to keep the commandments and conduct ourselves in such a way that our families will want to live with us in the eternities.
Time,- that black and narrow isthmus between two eternities.
The meeting of two eternities, the past and future....is precisely the present moment.
Vain, weak-built isthmus, which dost proudly rise Up between two eternities!
I was always looking to be entertained. We lead such full lives and a lot of us don't lead very pleasant lives and don't like what we do... My dad worked his whole life as a salesman and that wasn't what he really wanted to do. He looked forward to two weeks vacation every year and he used to say to me, 'Whatever you do, make sure you do something you really like so you don't just have your vacation to look forward to.' And I love movies.
