Famous quotes containing the words decay and/or time:
“The goal of every culture is to decay through over-civilization; the factors of decadence,—luxury, scepticism, weariness and superstition,—are constant. The civilization of one epoch becomes the manure of the next.”

When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world.”
