Famous quotes containing the words decay and/or time:
“One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is when we see its separate forms jumbled together.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“All neighbourly content and easy talk are gone,
But there’s no good complaining, for money’s rant is on,
He that’s mounting up must on his neighbour mount
And we and all the Muses are things of no account.
They have schooling of their own but I pass their schooling by,
What can they know that we know that know the time to die?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
