Revel in your time!

Revel in your time!

I have seen ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I have watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain..
Bladerunner (1982)

Don’t squander the gold of your days. Live.
Let nothing be lost upon you. Be afraid of
nothing. There is such a little time that your
youth will last. And you can never get it back.
As we grow older our memories are haunted
by the exquisite temptations we hadn’t the courage
to yield to. The world is yours for a season.
It would be tragic if you realized too late, as so
many others do, that there’s only one thing in the
world worth having, and that is youth.
Picture of Dorian Gray (1945)

These two quotes, both memorised when I was of an impressionable age, still gives me positive shivers to this day. It is good to know that I still have a few marbles left.
