Some  really great ones have been cited already but a glance 
at my syllabus for  Introduction to Material Culture reveals 
my favorite. It is by Randall  Jarrel, the poet. I discovered 
it cited in a New York Times Book review.  It is from an 
unpublished manuscript:  I have used it a  thousand
(hyperbole) times:


"Things last by being lost or  broken

The shard is safest under the loess

The Ark sails under  the waters of the earth"


of course there is always Green  Day
"Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go"

and the  Bard of America Walt Whitman:


"The Past-the infinite greatnes of  the Past! For what is the 
present after all but a growth out of the  PAST"
