Timelessness Quotes

“I meditated for 3 minutes.” ... “I meditated for 3 hours.” ...

“I meditated for 3 days.”

No. You meditated for no-Time. Meditation is all about detaching from Time. The time you are telling is just memory of the character you have landed upon “after” floating in no-Time.”
― Shunya

“Perfection in imperfection. Someone whose flaws work well with yours. Infuse modern love with the hues of older romance. An agency that offers something real in a world that was increasingly becoming plastic.”
― Nikita Gill, Great Goddesses: Life Lessons from Myths and Monsters

“That which is timeless is also the most timely.”
― Joseph Pearce

“I think of published poets that you could know of...I think [Rainer Maria Rilke] probably has the most great published poems of any poet [...] but Rilke himself was an asshole. If you look at his biography, he was probably misogynist; he was a liar, a cheat; he was a terrible father; he was selfish; he put people down; he had no consideration for anyone [...] yet, he transcends that in his greatest poems. There's that ineffable, spiritual quality - that he himself couldn't reach! But somewhere underneath that reptilian exterior, that asshole exterior of Rainer Maria Rilke, there was some good that came through – like these little sunbursts coming through clouds – that had that moment. And he'd write the Duino Elegies, he'd write the New Poems, and somewhere, that came through.
And that's an amazing thing: you can have a lot of great people who are great individuals, who are loving and caring – and they can't do that. And that's not to say that their lives are meaningless, but they will never be able to affect anyone past the propinquity of their existence. They are never going to be able to affect someone in China; they are never going to be able to affect someone in 2132 the way Rilke can.
And that specialness needs to be acknowledged; that specialness needs to be upheld; it needs to be rewarded, and people need to say, 'Goddamn – that's a good thing! It's a good thing that people make art!”
― Dan Schneider

“Мога да начертая географска карта с миграцията на тъгите. Едни места са тъжни в един век, други - в друг. Ако в нещо съм успявал с тези опити, то е за много кратък отрязък от време да привлека заблуден облак тъга от някой минал следобед, мой или чужд, да вървя подир него и да потъвам в никотина му. Като пушач, който и след много години без цигари винаги ще разпознае следата от дим.”
― Georgi Gospodinov, Физика на тъгата

“Good times pass very fast. Bad times pass very slow. When you detach from both good and bad, time doesn’t pass at all. That is Timelessness or Eternal Bliss.”
― Shunya

“Time is out there. Everything that ever happened is still happening. For instance, if I took your hand in mine.” Which he did as he was speaking. “It would be happening for hundreds of years.”
― Alice Hoffman, The Book of Magic

“We only have moments, but moments bring us to timelessness.”
― Donna Goddard, Dance: A Spiritual Affair

“Ah forever!" I said. "I have such a love of that word, forever."
"Yes, it is a timeless word," he said, raising his mossy eyebrows as he looked at me. "Time is ours, but forever belongs to God, don't you think?”
― Anne Rice, Blood And Gold

“Stone is a primal matter, inhuman in its duration. Yet despite its incalculable temporality, the lithic is not some vast and alien outside. A limit-breaching intimacy persistently unfolds.
Hurl a rock and you'll shatter an ontology, leave taxonomy in glistening shards.”
― Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, Stone: An Ecology of the Inhuman

“Ecstatic technology isn't limited to silicon chips and display screens. As John Lilly's early research established, it's the knowledge of how to tweak the knobs and levers in our brain. When we get it right, it produces those invaluable sensations of selflessness, timelessness, effortlessness, and richness.”
― Steven Kotler, Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, the Navy SEALs, and Maverick Scientists Are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work

“Age whittles away at beauty, chips away at strength, and erodes sharpness of mind. Few are born with a notable endowment of any of those traits. Fewer still manage to fend off the merciless attack of time. Rotharia had battled its ravages and held her own for far longer than most.”
― L.H. Leonard, Path of the Spirit Runner

“The gap between past and future: the nunc stans...timeless region, an eternal presence in complete quiet, lying beyond human clocks and calendars altogether, the quiet of the Now in the time-pressed, time-tossed existence of man ... this small non-time space is the very heart of time.

...it is the very home, the only home, of Mind, Soul and Art; the only point where past and future are gathered together and the pattern and the meaning of the whole become clear.”
― Hannah Arendt

“Timelessness is the ideal of pleasure.”
― Herbert Marcuse, Eros and Civilization: A Philosophical Inquiry into Freud

“The result, therefore, of our present inquiry is,
that we find no vestige of a beginning -
no prospect of an end.”
― James Hutton

“There is timelessness in sensuality.”
― Lebo Grand

“And here I am before the sea, being crushed again beneath the foam of former things. But is anything former when we speak of love or pain or any great and breaking thing?”
― Sondra Charbadze, The Sea Once Swallowed Me: A Memoir of Love, Solitude, and the Limits of Language

“And then there's Ireneo. I know I'll probably never see him again, but I'm not sad. The mark he left on me, the way he passed through me, that cannot be erased. Maybe this is what "love is forever" means: it's not timeless, but it leaves a mark so deep that it accompanies us all our life.”
― Assia Petricelli, Per sempre

“Writing, which was both painful and palliative for me, turned out to be my own way of giving blood in a crisis. I can only hope this unit of words will have a longer shelf life than the forty-two days of a unit of blood, as this critical time blends seamlessly into the next one.”
― Barbara Kingsolver, Small Wonder

“Rami - Why do we have time and times passage?
Dayah - In this material realm you have been counting and keeping track of the number of turns your beloved little planet takes around it's star calling these circulating passages names like 'days' 'months' or 'years'.

You have numerically segmented down these 'days' into units such as 'seconds' 'minutes' or 'hours'.
And there you have it! You have created what you think of as 'time'.

But please remember beloved One. It is you mortals who created this concept of 'time' and 'time' is much smaller than you are.

You are limitless. This dear beloved little planet is merely spinning 'round and 'round through the Infinity of the Divine Oneness of which you are the microcosm.”
― Leland Lewis, Angelic Tales of The Universe. Tale 1. The Ancient Woman, The Secret Cave

“There was one song on the album I found with Michelle that I had never heard before. It has piqued my fancy like it was a secret message, like it had been written the day before I purchased the album. It’s called Winter Lady.”
― Michael Whone, Winter Lyric

“This impression is a glimpse not of timelessness but timefulness, an acute consciousness of how the world is made by - indeed, made of - time.”
― Marcia Bjornerud, Timefulness: How Thinking Like a Geologist Can Help Save the World

“Timelessness is an art.”
― Richie Norton

“When the term universal comes up, ask: Whose universe? When the term timeless: Who can stand outside of time? When transcends categories: Why not transgress? I don’t want to transcend. I want to sing about living in a tangle of histories and dreams. Embrace that song, I’m reminding myself.”
― Chen Chen

“A timeless leader practices the art of voluntary elimination. He knows what activities - physical or mental - must be given up so that an organization becomes more productive. A new organization is born in the womb of the old organization. A new generation of new recruits is forever striving to replace an old generation of employees. It is a war of sorts: a clash of perspectives and worldviews. This kind of war is inevitable. We cannot shy away from it.”
― Debashis Chatterjee, Timeless Leadership: 18 Leadership Sutras from the Bhagvad Gita

“This is another way of saying that “now” is nothing but a gathering place where the past, present, and future congeal, fester, and proliferate. To be a seer is to know that these three time-persons are a single Holy Trinity. The Holy comes not from a singular time-body, but from all three: Squatting in the gathering place. Breaking bread. Laughing.”
― Sondra Charbadze, The Sea Once Swallowed Me: A Memoir of Love, Solitude, and the Limits of Language

“No fame is timeless, it’s a firefly in a jar.”
― Nanette L. Avery

“What are we and why are we here? This question loses its power as soon as you come up with an answer. This question opens the door of eternity while its answer keeps you locked inside time and space.”
― Shunya

“Every year that I live here it is as though another of my personalities is left behind, like a variation in a Passacaglia, leaving me nearer the first and last plain theme. It is not only that as one grows older the passions and vanities fade, nor that the pressure of the present day obliges one to live an ever simpler life, to make and to do with one's own hands whatever is necessary, to be forever saying goodbye to civilization. It is rather that civilization has turned to shoddy, plastic and sham, has become a cage with bars of cliché, so that one must get out. Here on my island the years have opened like a rose in the sun, the fury of standardization has missed one little byway, and events have remained in their real dimension as reactions of the human heart, limitless, yet dependent on its fleeting pulse.”
― Lucy M. Boston, Yew Hall

“In dreams we become timeless. We can stretch one breath to the infinite, nestle deep into that single heartbeat, and create something wondrously impossible. We can shape our worlds and live our lives to their fullest. As many lives as we want, and in any direction. But we don’t know at what point that breath, that heartbeat, will reclaim us and transform everything we built into forgotten dust. Not even a full memory, only a ghost of a dream, replaced by the incessant light demanding that our bodies adhere to its own cruel schedule.”
― Courtney M. Privett, Dustlight
