Quote by Aldous Huxley

Only times and places, only names and ghosts.

Only times and places, only names and ghosts.

Summary

This quote suggests that all that remains of the past are mere memories and remnants. It implies that what we associate with certain times, places, names, and even people are just illusions or echoes of what once existed. It highlights the transient nature of life and the ephemeral nature of the world around us. Ultimately, it hints that everything will eventually fade away, leaving behind nothing but the intangible traces of history.
