Elizabeth Hardwick Quotes

Time is not kind to everything.

Even nothing cannot last forever.

Time is that in which all things pass away.

Everything is temporary. Everything is bound to end.

All things are only transitory.

The innocent and the beautiful have no enemy but time.

Time destroys everything.

Time passes irrevocably.

Time is the devourer of all things.

Time is death.

Men and women, empires and cities, thrones, principalities, and powers, mountains, rivers, and unfathomed seas, worlds, spaces, and universes, all have their day, and all must go.

How terrible a thing time is.

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.

Nothing can last forever. There isn't any memory, no matter how intense, that doesn't fade out at last.

All things are subject to decay and change.

I kept quiet, but the knowledge gathered like a storm. I could see the future: My father wasn't coming back. And this one fact seemed to point to other facts and others still: Love frays and humans fail, time passes, eras end.

Nothing is forever...nothing lasts.

Alas! the fleeting years, how they roll on!

History is a great cemetery: men, deeds, ideas are always dying as soon as they are born.

Try to hold on to youth and it mocks you while it sprints away.

Time touches all things with a destroying hand.

Today will die tomorrow.

Time bears away all things.

Everything is temporary if you give it enough time.
