Oblivion Quotes

If a poet has any obligation toward society, it is to write well. Being in the minority, he has no other choice. Failing this duty, he sinks into oblivion. Society, on the other hand, has no obligation toward the poet Picture Quote #1

I shudder at the very thought of being born again into this world. Life to me... Has been a monstrous, painful, agonizing affair, and the idea of repeating such an existence - even if better in a way - is horrifying to me... I gratefully look forward to oblivion, but I must be sure of it Picture Quote #1

Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his back wherein he puts alms for oblivion, a great-sized monster of ingratitudes: those scraps are good deeds past, which are devour'd as fast as they are made, forgot as soon as done Picture Quote #1

The telephone is the greatest single enemy of scholarship; for what our intellectual forebears used to inscribe in ink now goes once over a wire into permanent oblivion Picture Quote #1

These things were lost to oblivion like so much about so many who are born and die without anyone ever taking the time to write it all down Picture Quote #1

Sleep is no longer a healing bath, a recuperation of vital forces, but an oblivion, a nightly brush with annihilation Picture Quote #1

He had often noticed that six months’ oblivion amounts to newspaper death, and that resurrection is rare. Nothing is easier, if a man wants it, than rest, profound as the grave Picture Quote #1

Since fame is an illusion and death is in our future all we have is the next moment before we are swallowed into oblivion Picture Quote #1

I’m very happy to have a small, long, career instead of one big hit and then oblivion Picture Quote #1

I did what I could to inflate the rumor I was on my way to stardom. What I was on my way to, by any mathematical standards known to man, was oblivion, by way of obscurity Picture Quote #1

Time in its irresistible and ceaseless flow carries along on its flood all created things and drowns them in the depths of obscurity... But the tale of history forms a very strong bulwark against the stream of time, and checks in some measure its irresistible flow, so that, of all things done in it, as many as history has taken over it secures and binds together, and does not allow them to slip away into the abyss of oblivion Picture Quote #1

Do not let arguments of expediency persuade you. That is the slow road to oblivion. That is the tortured path to undoing step by step, bit by bit, as the river creates a canyon, the way of life that we love Picture Quote #1

There is only one way in the world to be distinguished. Follow your instinct! Be yourself, and you’ll be somebody. Be one more blind follower of the blind, and you will have the oblivion you desire Picture Quote #1

We were a silent, hidden thought in the folds of oblivion, and we have become a voice that causes the heavens to tremble Picture Quote #1

If men wound you with injuries, meet them with patience; hasty words rankle the wound, soft language dresses it, forgiveness cures it, and oblivion takes away the scar. It is more noble by silence to avoid an injury than by argument to overcome it Picture Quote #1

For me, each game is a new challenge, which has to be dealt with rationally and systematically. At that time, every other thought fades into oblivion Picture Quote #1

As the days piled up into weeks, and the weeks turned into months, and fall slid into winter, I realized one of the great truths about tragedy: You can dream of disappearing. You can wish for oblivion, for endless sleep or the escape of fiction, of walking into a river with your pockets full of stones, of letting the dark water close over your head. But if you’ve got kids, the web of the world holds you close and wraps you tight and keeps you from falling no matter how badly you think you want to fall Picture Quote #1

As I see it, life is an effort to grip before they slip through one’s fingers and slide into oblivion, the startling, the ghastly or the blindingly exquisite fish of the imagination before they whip away on the endless current and are lost for ever in oblivion’s black ocean Picture Quote #1

Staring in the darkness, trying to sleep. My body was aching with tiredness. My limbs were numb. My sightless eyes were crazed with light/ I was dying of oblivion, but it wouldn’t come. I didn’t think I’ve ever sleep again Picture Quote #1

The coming years will prove increasingly cynical and cruel. People will definitely not slip into oblivion while hugging each other. The final stages in the life of humanity will be marked by the monstrous war of all against all: the amount of suffering will be maximal Picture Quote #1

Then there are the addicts, the hunger addicts, the rage addicts, the poverty addicts, and power addicts, and the pure addicts who are addicted not to substances but to the oblivion and the tenderness the substances engender. An addict, if you don’t mind me saying so, is like a saint. What is a saint but someone who has cut himself off, voluntarily, from the world’s traffic and currency Picture Quote #1

... what makes you older is when your bones, muscles and blood wear out, when the heart sinks into oblivion and all the houses you ever lived in are gone and people are not really certain that your civilization ever existed Picture Quote #1

The avalanche of time sweeps everything before it. Every individual instant hurtles into oblivion, drowning out the obliteration of the instant immediately preceding it, and then it too disappears under the onslaught of the next and the next and the next. When the avalanche has shuddered past for a long enough time, the perception of the past evolves. Distant events grow beyond mere history and take on the weight of legend Picture Quote #1

The fear of meeting the opposition of envy, or the illiberality of ignorance is, no doubt, the frequent cause of preventing many ingenious men from ushering opinions into the world which deviate from common practice. Hence for want of energy, the young idea is shackled with timidity and a useful thought is buried in the impenetrable gloom of eternal oblivion Picture Quote #1

Such things and deeds as are not written down are covered with darkness, and given over to the sepulchre of oblivion Picture Quote #1

I believe that success brings responsibility. It also does not bring immunity to the consequences of our quickening march towards oblivion. The bottom line is that all of us should be invovled in our own futures to create a world that our children will want to live in Picture Quote #1

Oblivion is something unique, an entertainment experience unlike anything I had seen before. I decided this was a project I really wanted to work on creatively, and I hope fans of the game enjoy the results Picture Quote #1

While obsession with one’s personal appearance is a sign of being a vacant prat, total oblivion to it is a sign of mental illness Picture Quote #1

Writing comes into being to retain information across time and across space. Before writing, communication is evanescent and local; sounds carry a few yards and fade to oblivion. The evanescence of the spoken word went without saying. So fleeting was speech that the rare phenomenon of the echo, a sound heard once and then again, seemed a sort of magic Picture Quote #1

Precious things lost are transmutable. They refuse oblivion. They simply wait to be rendered into testimonies, into stories and songs Picture Quote #1
