Impermanence
✺
One never steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river, and one is not the same person.
―Heraclitus
~
It is not impermanence that makes us suffer. What makes us suffer is wanting things to be permanent when they are not.
―Thich Nhat Hanh
~
Our lives are written in disappearing ink.
―Michelle Cliff
~
You can't be what you were
so you better start being
just what you are
—Fugazi
~
Thanks to impermanence,
everything is possible.
—Thich Nhat Hanh
~
One moment your life is a stone in you, and the next, a star.
—Rainer Maria Rilke
~
Your projects will go unfinished.
—Chögyam Trungpa
~
This too shall pass.
