Though all things must pass, none are so ephemeral as those good times with good friends that, in retrospect, seem almost magical.
– “Day of the Dead 2022”
“Every single thing in the Cosmos is mortal, and will pass away in its time. [Organisms and empires alike] rise, thrive, decline, and fall, to be replaced by younger ones which then decline and fall in their time…crumbling into dust and passing first into memory, then legend, and eventually beyond the horizon of sentient knowledge.”
