“The future is a hundred thousand threads, but the past is a fabric that can never be rewoven.”
“Words are the thread in the fabric of the universe.”
“No experience has been too unimportant, and the smallest event unfolds like a fate, and fate itself is like a wonderful, wide fabric in which every thread is guided by an infinitely tender hand and laid alongside another thread and is held and supported by a hundred others”
“A single tree can make a hundred thousand matches, and a single match can burn a hundred thousand trees.”
“How can the past and future be, when the past no longer is, and the future is not yet? As for the present, if it were always present and never moved on to become the past, it would not be time, but eternity.”
“The past is set down in a thousand thousand indelible scrolls. But the future is a blank parchment forever in wait of a present.”
