| The thesis of the momentariness of human existence has had a recent defender in Derek Parfit. |
| He argues that none could, and proposes that internalising the momentariness of our lives has a beneficial effect on how we should face our deaths. |
| The world's very vividness and poignancy results from the momentariness of our experience. |
| The richness of the fantasy of all these edifying symbols is impossible to assess: a dancing skeleton reminds us about the momentariness of life, a butterfly, about resurrection to an unconceivable new life. |
| Together they create E, emotion, the implication being that this combination of momentariness and power are signs of deep passion. |
| The Sarvāstivāda-Vaibhāṣika proposed a fully-fledged doctrine of momentariness according to which all physical and mental phenomena are momentary. |
