What gnashing is not a comfort, what gnawing of the worm is not a tickling, what torment is not a marriage bed to this damnation, to be secluded eternally, eternally, eternally from the sight of God?

No. 76, preached to the Earl of Carlisle, c. autumn 1622.John Donne
From every joy and pain a hope leaps out eternally to escape this pain and to widen joy.
And again the ascent begins — which is pain — and joy is reborn and new hope springs up once more. The circle never closes. It is not a circle, but a spiral which ascends eternally, ever widening, enfolding and unfolding the triune struggle.Nikos Kazantzakis
All that is not eternal is eternally out of date.
C. S. Lewis
I think that it would be less difficult to live eternally than to be deprived of sleep throughout life.
Anton Chekhov
Democratic man, dreaming eternally of Utopias, is ever a prey to shibboleths.
H. L. Mencken
