Constant Change Quotes

“Transformations are a part of life. We are constantly being changed by things changing around us. Nobody can control that. Nobody can control the environment, the economy, luck, or the moods of others. Compositions change. Positions change. Dispositions change. Experiences change. Opportunities and attitudes change. You will change.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“Once something is no longer illicit, punishable, pathologized, or used as lawful basis for raw discrimination or acts of violence, that phenomenon will no longer be able to represent or deliver on subversion, the subcultural, the underground, the fringe, in the same way”

“Things of this world are in so constant a flux that nothing remains long in the same state.”

“When I start something, I can never finish it. I just can’t dedicate myself to wanting or doing a thing for an extended period of time like that. I get started doing and before I reach the halfway mark, I’m wanting something else. But, really, it’s not me, it’s everything moving around me, changing and wreaking havoc on my wants. I decided it's easier to stop starting things because it’s impossible to keep up with the world, the way it constantly throws new stuff at you.”
― Rasmenia Massoud, Tied Within

“For now, she would dance among the garden.
When azaleas bloom in winter.
When hurricanes come in fall.
Maybe the paint was not so much these out-of-season moments, but more what was growing in between them. The clumsy grasp to keep summer's blooms in winter would inevitably fail. And yet hope always came rising up, resurrected from the frozen ground.
For as garden turns to garden, flowers turn to dust, and glory goes to glory, the changes are within us.
And maybe beauty's greatest achievement isn't in the staying... but that in its return, again and again, it paints the eternal---all the beautiful things that will never fade.”
― Ashley Clark, Paint and Nectar

“[...] A diet of constant, stimulating activity is the best prescription for our troubles. It keeps the brain in a state of constant change, flow, confirmation, and anticipation, thereby reducing the noise, fragility, self-doubt, and stagnation with which we all have to contend.”
― John J. Ratey, A User's Guide to the Brain: Perception, Attention, and the Four Theaters of the Brain

“There is nothing certain in this world, even the love that you thought would stay will never will. Only “change” is constant and that is the harsh truth that we have to learn to accept.”
― Verliza Gajeles

“Nonbeing provides the “air” to the Being to spread its wings and fly “through” nothingness. The finitude of the Being is the source of its infinity through the Nonbeing. This infinity is not measurable because it is not possible in any particular life or any particular circle, but in the infinite number of lives and cycles of the same thing, living the life of constant change, constant annihilation, and rebirths, ad infinitum, through and by the infinite number of variations of the same finite and omnipotent Being.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE
