The whole of present time is a pin-prick of eternity (Marcus Aurelius)

Think of the whole of existence, of which you are the tiniest part; think of the whole of time in which you have been assigned a brief and fleeting moment; think of destiny – what fraction of that are you?

Every ocean is a drop in the Universe.

The whole of present time is a pin-prick of eternity.

Marcus Aurelius
