Lockdown Life Quotes

― Vineet Raj Kapoor

“Buy the toilet paper;
Bye to the life you knew before;
By tomorrow,
The storefronts will be closed down.”
― Eric Overby, Legacy

“While we vented and ranted about the quarantine life hoping to wake up miraculously from this dystopian nightmare, we also discovered a newfound respect for the life that was, that we had left behind.”

“Ilf Time Never Flew by Stewart Stafford

If a horologist froze time at dusk,
And there was no day or night,
Or days, months, and years,
What then for Earth’s masters?

Winged time stilled in a bell jar,
A castaway preserved in aspic,
Or stickily-entombed in amber,
Statuesque life an infinite daymare.

Boredom creeping up slowly,
A lockdown without progress,
The horologist would thaw time,
Freeing reality’s ebb and flow.
