How to use eternity in a sentence?

1. Ramana Pemmaraju:

   Since eternity, mankind has denied what was to be deeply understood and transformed, all the emotions that were primal in one's progress in higher consciousness, was subjugated, condemned so deeply that we are still struck with basic human body, making it impossible to transcend towards self-realization. All forms of art are just devices to go within, from outer to inner journey.”

2. Thomas Carlyle:

   Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better. Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.

3. Dejan Stojanovic:

   Our eternity is not real; it resembles us; it is our own invention; its scent is vanity.

4. Blaise Pascal:

   When I consider the small span of my life absorbed in the eternity of all time, or the small part of space which I can touch or see engulfed by the infinite immensity of spaces that I know not and that know me not, I am frightened and astonished to see myself here instead of there... now instead of then.

5. Sophie Scholl:

   “I know that life is a doorway to eternity, and yet my heart so often gets lost in petty anxieties. It forgets the great way home that lies before it.”
