Quote by Natalie Clifford Barney

Eternity -- waste of time.

Eternity -- waste of time.

Summary

This quote suggests that eternity, or an infinite timeline that extends beyond one's life, is seen as pointless or meaningless. The use of the word "waste" implies that having an eternity ahead has no value and may even be seen as a burden. It possibly reflects a belief that time should be limited and appreciated in the present moment, rather than stretched infinitely. Additionally, it could convey a pessimistic or nihilistic perspective that questions the purpose or significance of existence beyond one's finite lifespan.
