Olaf Stapledon Quotes

Yet Though Time Is Cyclic, It Is Not Repetitive; There Is No Other Time Within Which It Can Repeat Itself. For Time Is But An Abstraction From The Successive-ness Of Events That Pass; And Since All Events Whatsoever Form Together A Cycle Of Successive-ness, There Is Nothing Constant In Relation To Which There Can Be Repetition. And So The Succession Of Events Is Cyclic, Yet Not Repetitive. The Birth Of The All-pervading Gas In The So-called Beginning Is Not Merely Similar To Another Such Birth To Occur Long After Us And Long After The Cosmic End, So-called; The Past Beginning Is The Future Beginning.

When We Are In Full Possession Of Our Faculties, We Are Not Distressed By This Fate. For We Know That Though Our Fair Community Must Cease, It Has Also Indestructible Being. We Have At Least Carved Into One Region Of The Eternal Real A Form Which Has Beauty Of No Mean Order.
