“Painting consists of long periods of minutes followed by short bursts of hours”

“Death comes after a short or long period of time some times it can be just hours some times years,but when the time is right not for us we maybe born dead.”

“If I could, I would stop the passage of time. But hour follows on hour, minute on minute, each second robbing me of a morsel of myself for the nothing of tomorrow. I shall never experience this moment again.”

“Remember, your history is a total mystery. Sometimes it seems that a lot is happening in a short period of time – and, sometimes it seems that nothing is happening for a long period of time – it’s the same thing.”

“War is sometimes described as long periods of boredom punctuated by short moments of excitement. History is often similar, if rather safer.”

“Life is short for those who are truly able to understand that one day the entire world will come to a complete end. Not everyone is capable of that. Not everyone has the ability to comprehend what going away for all eternity really implies. There are too many distractions, hour by hour, minute by minute, to hinder such an understanding.”
