Aspects Quotes

“We can misspend time - hurting people, ourselves included, making the world worse - but to 'waste' time - to get no motion at all, good or bad - to do that one would have to not be alive at all.”
― John M. Ford, Aspects

“DEATH AND HOMEWARD When I no longer in my flesh do dwell When every other hunger gnaws no more Then I shall ask whatever Time will tell, And know at last what the charade was for. Yet not to overreach, if there’s a why To love, red roses, chocolate, or the moon, Beyond themselves, I’ll gladly pass it by: I’ll not run out of other questions soon. I want to know why life should so disguise Its purposes, and fear a friendly touch; And why we grow just old, and never wise, And why this meat and bone should mean so much. All this there will at last be time to learn, When I am done with death, and homeward turn.”
― John M. Ford, Aspects
