  1. Ta-Nehisi Coates _ The Beautiful Struggle: A

    This is one of those stories where the feeling of the moment stands in for visual details.

  2. John Fowles _ The Magus

    It was an unforgettable painting; it set a dense golden halo of light round the most trivial of moments, so that the moment, and all such moments, could never be completely trivial again.

  3. Gregory Maguire _ Out of Oz

    There's a reason we live in time. We are too small a flask {...} to tolerate too much knowing. Instead, truth must drip through us as through a pipette, to allow only moments of apprehension. Moments diffuse and miniature enough to be survived.

  4. Jon Kabat-Zinn _ Mindfulness for Beginners

    The future that we want - this is it. This is the future of all the previous thoughts you've ever had about the future. You're in it. You're already in it. What is the purpose of all this living if it's only to get some place else and then when you're there you're not happy anyway, you want to be some place else. It's always for 'when I retire,' 'when I graduate college,' 'when I make enough money,' 'when I get married,' 'when I get divorced,' 'when the kids move out.' It's like, wait a minute, this is it. This is your life. We only have moments. This moment's as good as any other. It's perfect.

  5. Jon Kabat-Zinn _ Wherever You Go, There You

    The best way to capture moments is to pay attention. This is how we cultivate mindfulness. Mindfulness means being awake. It means knowing what you are doing.

  7. Chuck Palahniuk _ Survivor

    Here are the shadows left behind by a thousand moments, a thousand moods, of needs traced here on the wall by men who are gone. Here is the record of their being here.

  8. Douglas Coupland _ Life After God

    My mind then wandered. I thought of this: I thought of how every day each of us experiences a few little moments that have just a bit more resonance than other moments-we hear a word that sticks in our mind-or maybe we have a small experience that pulls us out of ourselves, if only briefly-we share a hotel elevator with a bride in her veils, say, or a stranger gives us a piece of bread to feed to the mallard ducks in the lagoon; a small child starts a conversation with us in a Dairy Queen-or we have an episode like the one I had with the M&M cars back at the Husky station. And if we were to collect these small moments in a notebook and save them over a period of months we would see certain trends emerge from our collection-certain voices would emerge that have been trying to speak through us. We would realize that we have been having another life altogether; one we didn't even know was going on inside us. And maybe this other life is more important than the one we think of as being real-this clunky day-to-day world of furniture and noise and metal. So just maybe it is these small silent moments which are the true story-making events of our lives.

  9. Neal Stephenson _ Cryptonomicon

    This is one of the most important moments in your life. Nothing will ever be the same. We might get rich. We might get killed. We might just have an adventure or lean something. But we have been changed. We are standing close the Heraclitean fire, feeling its heat on our faces.

  10. Jean-Paul Sartre _ The Age of Reason

    She smiled and said with an ecstatic air: "It shines like a little diamond","What does?""This moment. It is round, it hangs in empty space like a little diamond; I am eternal.

  11. Samuel Beckett _ Krapp's Last Tape & Embers

    I happened to look up and there it was. All over and done with, at last. I sat on for a few moments with the ball in my hand and the dog yelping and pawing at me. {Pause.} Moments. Her moments, my moments {Pause.} The dog's moments.

  12. Samuel Beckett _ Krapp's Last Tape & Embers

    I asked her to look at me and after a few moments - {pause} - after a few moments she did, but the eyes just slits, because of the glare I bent over her to get them in the shadow and they opened. {Pause. Low} Let me in.
