Oblivion Quotes

All things of the body stream away like a river, all things of the mind are dreams and delusion; life is warfare, and a visit to a strange land; the only lasting fame is oblivion Picture Quote #1

That everything is on fire, slow fire, and we’re all less than a million breaths away from an oblivion more total than we can even bring ourselves to even try to imagine Picture Quote #1

There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it Picture Quote #1

She stood a moment before my eyes, clearly and painfully, loved and deeply woven into my destiny; then fell away again in a deep oblivion, at a half regretted distance Picture Quote #1

I fear oblivion. I fear it like the proverbial blind man who’s afraid of the dark Picture Quote #1

Oblivion eyes on a cereal box, the warm blinds of a father lost and last to know lost and last to love last boy lost you can’t see even a bubble once it’s popped Picture Quote #1

One must console oneself with the thought that time has a sieve through which most of these important things run into the ocean of oblivion and what remains after this selection is often still trite and bad Picture Quote #1

All other days have either disappeared into darkness and oblivion or not yet emerged from it. Today is the only day there is Picture Quote #1

Nature has not intended mankind to work from eight in the morning until midnight without that refreshment of blessed oblivion which, even if it only lasts twenty minutes, is sufficient to renew all the vital forces Picture Quote #1

A man can be called ruthless if he bombs a country to oblivion. A woman can be called ruthless if she puts you on hold Picture Quote #1

It distresses me, this failure to keep pace with the leaders of thought, as they pass into oblivion Picture Quote #1

It is difficult to think of anything more important than providing the best education possible for our children. They will develop the next technologies, medical cures, and global industries, while mitigating their unintended effects, or they will fail to do these things and consign us all to oblivion Picture Quote #1

The great events of life often leave one unmoved; they pass out of consciousness, and, when thinks of them, become unreal. Even the scarlet flowers of passion seem to grow in the same meadow as the poppies of oblivion. We reject the burden of their memory, and have anodynes against them. But the little things, the things of no moment, remain with us. In some tiny ivory cell the brain stores the most delicate, and the most fleeting impressions Picture Quote #1

Do they see the lethal insanity of a race to the brink of oblivion, and then over the edge? Apparently not. If they did, surely they wouldn’t be racing to begin with. Or is it a simple failure of imagination? One doesn’t like to think such a rudimentary failing could bring about the end, yet Picture Quote #1

For I regard memory not as a phenomenon preserving one thing and losing another merely by chance, but as a power that deliberately places events in order or wisely omits them. Everything we forget about our own lives was really condemned to oblivion by an inner instinct long ago Picture Quote #1

History is always written wrong, and so always needs to be rewritten... What is interesting is brought forward as if it had been central and efficacious in the march of events, and harmonies are turned into causes. Kings and generals are endowed with motives appropriate to what the historian values in their actions; plans are imputed to them prophetic of their actual achievements, while the thoughts that really preoccupied them remain buried in absolute oblivion Picture Quote #1

There is reason to suspect, that the distinctions of mankind have more show than value, when it is found that all agree to be weary alike of pleasures and of cares; that the powerful and the weak, the celebrated and obscure, join in one common wish, and implore from nature’s hand the nectar of oblivion Picture Quote #1

Every day things happen in the world that cannot be explained by any law of things we know. Every day they’re mentioned and forgotten, and the same mystery that brought them takes them away, transforming their secret into oblivion. Such is the law by which things that can’t be explained must be forgotten. The visible world goes on as usual in the broad daylight. Otherness watches us from the shadows Picture Quote #1

Everything is judged by its appearance; what is unseen counts for nothing. Never let yourself get lost in the crowd, then, or buried in oblivion. Stand out. Be conspicuous, at all cost. Make yourself a magnet of attention by appearing larger, more colorful, more mysterious than the bland and timid masses Picture Quote #1

For sure I once thought of myself as the poet who would save the ordinary from oblivion Picture Quote #1

Young women with ambitions should be very crafty and cautious, lest mayhap they be caught in the soft, silken mesh of a happy marriage, and go down to oblivion, dead to the world Picture Quote #1

It is to me a peculiarly noble work rescuing from oblivion those who deserve immortality, and extending their renown at the same time that we advance our own Picture Quote #1

The human race sleepwalked to oblivion, thinking only of the corporate logos on it’s shroud Picture Quote #1

But truths need to be repeated many times so that they don’t, poor things, lapse into oblivion Picture Quote #1

Sing then the core of dark and absolute oblivion where the soul at last is lost in utter peace Picture Quote #1

Just because you’re living in blissful oblivion doesn’t mean you’re not responsible Picture Quote #1

The majority see the obstacles; the few see the objectives; history records the successes of the latter, while oblivion is the reward of the former Picture Quote #1

Are you willing to be sponged out, erased, cancelled, made nothing? Are you willing to be made nothing? Dipped into oblivion? If not, you will never really change Picture Quote #1

Now I think poetry will save nothing from oblivion, but I keep writing about the ordinary because for me it’s the home of the extraordinary, the only home Picture Quote #1
