And a moment that ought to have lasted for ever Has come and gone before I knew.

About This Quote

We live our lives in an instant, like a train passing by in the night. We go through things and experience things, and most of the time we forget them before they even happen. Some of the events we experience are very profound, but if we don’t record them in our memory banks, they will never be able to live on. The philosopher William James said, “One moment is all you have, so make it count.”
