We are celebrating the feast of the Eternal Birth which God the Father has borne and never ceases to bear in all eternity... But if it takes not place in me what avails it? Everything lies in this that it should take place in me.
God and Nature first made us what we are and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.
Everything that ever happened is still happening. Past present and future keep happening in the eternity which is Here and Now.
Every great work of art has two faces one toward its own time and one toward the future toward eternity.
For 50 years nuclear power stations have produced three products which only a lunatic could want: bomb-explosive plutonium lethal radioactive waste and electricity so dear it has to be heavily subsidised. They leave to future generations the task and most of the cost of making safe sites that have been polluted half-way to eternity.
What does the future that half of time matter to the man who is infatuated with eternity?
The future and eternity are two entirely different things.
Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.
Time is too slow for those who wait too swift for those who fear too long for those who grieve too short for those who rejoice but for those who love time is eternity.
The realm of immediate or personal knowledge is a narrow circle in which these bodies move the realm of knowledge derived through faith is as wide as the universe and old as eternity.
