Already Gone Quotes

• To tempt, and to be tempted, are things very nearly allied, and, in spite of the finest maxims of morality impressed upon the mind, whenever feeling has anything to do in the matter, no sooner is it excited than we have already gone vastly farther than we are aware of, and I have yet to learn how it is possible to prevent its being excited.

• ...and every Wednesday the perfumed young lady slips me a hundred-crown note to leave her alone with the convict. And by Thursday the hundred crowns are already gone in so much beer. And when the visiting hour is over, the young lady comes out with the stink of jail in her elegant clothes; and the prisoner goes back to his cell with the lady's perfume in his jailbird's suit. And I'm left with the smell of beer. Life is nothing but trading smells.

• Estoy en la orilla del mar. Un barco despliega sus velas blancas a la brisa de la mañana y parte hacia el océano. Me quedo mirándolo hasta que se desvanece en el horizonte, y alguien a mi lado dice: "Se ha ido". ¿Se ha ido adónde? La pérdida de visión está en mí, no en ella. Justo en el momento en que alguien dice: "Se ha ido", hay otros que la están viendo llegar. Otras voces retoman el grito de alegría: ¡Aquí viene! Eso es morir.

• If you are not living with a whole heart now, the end of the world poses no threat; your life is already gone. Life is only as valuable as our presence to enjoy it. To miss the beauty of the moment because you are preparing to protect yourself from the next one, is to trade a precious gem for a cheap trinket.

• Este es nuestro castigo, nuestra Tribulación. Dios ha abandonado este mundo. Los fieles ya han ido a su recompensa, y nos ha dejado al resto de nosotros aquí, a merced de los demonios y los diablos. Los pecados de nuestros padres han pasado a sus hijos, y a los hijos de sus hijos, y seguirá siendo así hasta que este mundo sea completamente destruido. Así que no importa si crees en Dios o no, porque Él no está aquí.

• Sometimes I look back and I am shocked. Everyday of my life I have prepared for success, worked for it, waited for it, and you don't notice how the days pass until nearly a lifetime is finished.

It's like I've been waiting on the wrong side of the road for a bus that was already full." p. 265

• You live as if you were destined to live forever, no thought of your frailty ever enters your head, of how much time has already gone by you take no heed. You squander time as if you drew from a full and abundant supply, so all the while that day which you bestow on some person or thing is perhaps your last. You have all the fears of mortals and all the desires of immortals… What foolish forgetfulness of mortality to defer wise resolutions to the fiftieth or sixtieth year, and to intend to begin life at a point to which few have attained.
