“Man is not an end but a beginning. We are at the beginning of the second week. We are children of the eighth day.”

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

“A wise man begins in the end, a fool ends in the beginning.”

““The beginning of the end, the beginning of the end,” muttered Lo Hawk. “We must preserve something.”
“The end of the beginning,” sighed La Dire. “Everything must change.””

“This is a story about a man named Eddie and it begins at the end, with Eddie dying in the sun. It might seem strange to start a story with an ending. But all endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time.”

“As we are born we die, and the end commences with the beginning.”
Nascentes morimur, finisque ab origine pendet.

“What we celebrate today is not a victory of party or of individuals. What we celebrate is a beginning as well as an end; a change as well as a restoration.

“In fact, this infinitesimally spread-out consciousness is a direct feeling of its contents as spread out. In an infinitesimal interval we directly perceive the temporal sequence of its beginning, middle, and end… Now upon this interval follows another, whose beginning is the middle of the former, and whose middle is the end of the former. Here we have an immediate perception of the temporal sequence of its beginning, middle and end, or say, of the second, third, and fourth instants.”

“We find no vestige of a beginning - no prospect of an end.”

“We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one.”
