Michael Keaton Quotes

Time marks us while we are marking time.

How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?

We have been conditioned to see the passing of time as an adversary.

I think it would be wrong to consider 'Ashes and Fire' a love album. The record is obsessed with time. I believe that there is a kinder view of the self on this record.

Time goes, you say? Ah, no! alas, time stays, we go.

The clock never stops, never stops, never waits. We're growing old. It's getting late.

Time is the fire in which we burn.

Time doesn't go. Time stays. We go.

Man weeps to think that he will die so soon; woman, that she was born so long ago.

The thing to remember about being young is you eventually get old.

The passage of time is a continuing thing. At 18, you're going to live forever, and you are definitely not at 52, so that is a recurring topic. I still think it's the main stuff.

I'm sorry, it's true. Having children really changes your view on these things. We're born, we live for a brief instant, and we die. It's been happening for a long time. Technology is not changing it much - if at all.

You'll find as you grow older that you weren't born such a great while ago after all. The time shortens up.

People don't slip. Time catches up with them.

Whoever it was who said that to philosophize is an exercise in dying was right in more ways than one, for by writing a book, nobody gets younger.

People always talk about how time flies; it's become sort of a colloquialism now. You don't really understand it until you reach your late 30s and early 40s - and I'm sure time will move even faster as I get older.

It's pretty scary to know how quickly time flies.

My perspective is so much different now, being 41. The main difference between now and then is just realizing that your time will come to an end - and that it might not be far away. You see your face change, see the gray hairs sprouting up. When you're 24, you worry about the day you'll turn 40.

It ends all things: birds, trees, flowers, mountain tops, and business; it grinds stones to sand, and as terrible as it is, and it's the most beautiful thing we have in our lives - time.

We can change everything but we can't stop time.

Time moves on for everyone.

Oh, the years fly by, that's just natural.

He who has lived a day has lived an age.

We tried not to age, but time had its rage.

It's life isn't it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.
