Seen as temporality, the essence of time is detachment, isolation. Seen as eternity, the essence of time is attachment, communion. It is within time rather than within space that we are able to commune, to worship. to love. (Heschel, Man is not Alone, 205-6)
"The riches of a soul are stored up in its memory... Memory is the soul's witness to the capricious mind... Memory is a source of faith... Much of what the Bible demands can be comprised in one word: Remember." (Heschel, Man is not Alone, 161-63)
"death is more real than birth in that all beginnings are behind us. Death is...every moment to the transforming soul, which lives through perishing" (Hillman, SATS, 136)
