Disneys Märchenenden: Wenn die Erlösung auf sich warten lässt – Anankes Reich schrieb:
An antithesis was formulated by Eric Burdon & The Animals: „When I think of all the good times that I’ve wasted having good times …“
Apparently, this saying has not only been attributed to T. S. Elliot, but also to Mark Twain, John Lennon, Bertrand Russell, Soren Kierkegaard, Laurence J. Peter, a Man On Death Row, and others. Yet, the first instance of the phrase, as located by quoteinvestigator.com in 2010, was published in 1912 in the book “Phrynette Married” by Marthe Troly-Curtin.
Yeah, the Burdon quote shows quite another perspective. But taken out of context, I have to admit that at first I wasn’t sure which way he meant it …
Regarding the source of the quote, I have to thank you – although I still think, that Eliot would be a good fit. 😉
Did you enjoy good time recently, or was it all wasted?
