I did not want eternity, I only wanted time...

Sure sounds familiar but I couldn't find it on the Internet.

"In the end is our beginning; in our time, infinity;
in our doubt there is believing; in our life, eternity.
In our death, a resurrection; at the last, a victory,
unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see."
~ From "Hymn of Promise," Natalie Sleeth, #707 in the United Methodist Hymnal

'And all Desires want Eternity, want deep, deep Eternity'
~ Nietzsche, Zarathustra

Eien nante hoshiku nainoyo.
'I don't want eternity.'
-Shido Tatushiko, 'Night Walker: Midnight Detective'

We wanted time to do everything, we received eternity. Eternity is scary for those still dreaming. Wake up from the dream!
