Death is a commingling of eternity with time; in the death of a good man, eternity is seen looking through time.- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
God exists in eternity. The only point where eternity meets time is in the present. The present is the only time there is.
Love vanquishes time. To lovers, a moment can be eternity, eternity can be the tick of a clock.
Beauty is also submitted to the taste of time, so a beautiful woman from the Belle Epoch is not exactly the perfect beauty of today, so beauty is something that changes with time.
The story of a love is not important-what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.
