Juan Rulfo Quotes

Time bears away all things.

Nothing is forever...nothing lasts.

Everything is temporary if you give it enough time.

Not to hope for things to last forever, is what the year teaches and even the hour which snatches a nice day away.

All things must pass.

That's the trouble with living things. Don't last very long. Kittens one day, old cats the next. And then just memories. And the memories fade and blend and smudge together.

All good things pass away.

Time destroys everything.

Time is not kind to everything.

Time is the devourer of all things.

History can just be so unkind as time passes.

Even while a thing is in the act of coming into existence, some part of it has already ceased to be.

Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.

So many things that seemed crucial and excruciatingly hard ended and then didn't matter anymore, forever after

Everything, no matter how beautiful, is only with us for awhile.

The world changes too fast. You take your eyes off something that's always been there, and the next minute it's just a memory.

All things are subject to decay and change.

Man passes away; his name perishes from record and recollection; his history is as a tale that is told, and his very monument becomes a ruin.

Nothing lasts forever, and no one can predict what will happen to me in the near or distant future.
