Short Distance

Famous quotes containing the words short and/or distance:

“When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity before and after, the little space which I fill and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant and which know me not, I am frightened and am astonished at being here rather than there. For there is no reason why here rather than there, why now rather than then.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

“[As we say], “When you get to be 18 you’re out of here.” No wonder teenagers start to distance themselves from us.”
