JeanPaul SartreThere is only one day left, always starting over: It is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk.
About This Quote
It is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk. Time is a precious gift that we have been given. It is a gift that allows us to do so many wonderful things, yet it comes to a point where we have to say goodbye to it. And, like the leaves on the trees, time flutters away like the wind.
Sooner or later, all of us will fall down and cry out for our time to come back. But, even though it doesn’t always come back the same way, it always comes back.
