The World in which we live and move
Outlasts aversion, outlasts love:
Outlasts each effort, interest, hope,
Remorse, grief, joy.
--
l. 215-218.Matthew Arnold

Patriotism is an ephemeral motive that scarcely ever outlasts the particular threat to society that aroused it.
Denis Diderot
...life is lonely, life is empty. Love isn't everything. A dear true friend is more than love--the serge outlasts the silk.
Clifford Odets
In Hollywood, a marriage is a success if it outlasts milk. [HBO: "Born to be Mild"]
Rita Rudner
My joy, my grief, my hope, my love,
Did all within this circle move!Edmund Waller
This passage from nothingness to real being, this quitting of oneself is a birth accompanied by pain, for by it natural love is excluded. All grief except grief for sin comes from love of the world. In God is neither sorrow, nor grief, nor trouble. Wouldst thou be free from all grief and trouble, abide and walk in God, and to God alone. As long as love of the creature is in us, pain cannot cease.
Meister Eckhart
