“Were I to deduce any system from my feelings on leaving Eton, it might be called The Theory of Permanent Adolescence. It is the theory that the experiences undergone by boys at the great public schools, their glories and disappointments, are so intense as to dominate their lives and to arrest their development. From these it results that the greater part of the ruling class remains adolescent, school-minded, self-conscious, cowardly, sentimental, and in the last analysis homosexual.”
Cyril Connolly
“No real estate is permanently valuable but the grave”
Mark Twain
“Nothing is permanent.”
Buddha
“Nothing is permanent in this wicked world - not even our troubles.”
Charlie Chaplin
“A building is akin to dogma; it is insolent, like dogma. Whether or no it is permanent, it claims permanence, like a dogma.”
G. K. Chesterton
“The generations of men run on in the tide of time, but leave their destined lineaments permanent for ever and ever.”
William Blake
“In some cases we may leave it there. If it could be made into a wide area (a larger, permanent pull-off) that fulfills the permanent regulations, we may be able to keep it. If it wasn't used as a permanent area, it would be blocked somehow.”
Carl DeFebo
