Joe Henderson Quotes

We must remember that as the centuries go by, time will pass.

You can never figure out what the future sounds like. As soon as you make it, it's the past.

Everything ends, people move on, they don't look back. It's how they should be.

Time will pass and seasons will come and go.

In the sense that writing is to retrieve the past and stop the passing of time, all writing is about loss. It's not nostalgia in the sense of yearning to bring back the past, but recognition of the erosion of things as you live.

Through loyalty to the past, our mind refuses to realize that tomorrow's joy is possible only if today's makes way for it; that each wave owes the beauty of its line only to the withdrawal of the preceding one.

Time brings all things to pass.

Everything must change and you do what you can with the changes that are made. You can't stop it. You can't fight it. Everybody tries to go back to yesterday, but you can't go back to yesterday. The only time there is, is now.

Time moves in one direction, memory in another.

Life is a wave, which in no two consecutive moments of its existence is composed of the same particles.

One feels that the past stays the way you left it, whereas the present is in constant movement; it's unstable all around you.

Everything has a cycle and a season.

Time moves on for everyone.

Life moves forward. The old leaves wither, die and fall away, and the new growth extends forward into the light.

I was sand, I was snow—written on, rewritten, smoothed over.

We have this time to meet and do something, or just be together, and then we lose it and move to another kind of time, another kind of being, I guess. Those left behind must mourn, remember, and live on as we know.

It's life isn't it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.

For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.

I like change. There's something Buddhist about it - continuous change is wonderful.

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.

The things that have come into being change continually. The man with a good memory remembers nothing because he forgets nothing.

Time is change; we measure its passing by how much things alter.

And we forget because we must and not because we will.

I believe change is the only constant in life, and there is a place and time for everything.
