405 Entries for “duration”

  1. During the time that I knew her, she could only be described as special. She was so unique. So… herself. I can’t think of something more than that. She was one of the best and worst things that have ever happened.

    Alex Percy
  2. “And for the duration of your stay on the train, you’ll be with me!” said their supervisor. That what her mother called it. A supervisor. Her fancy way of saying baby sitter whithout making me too mad. Or at least trying not to make me too mad.

  3. It was continuing over and over. As though the record player was broken, never ceasing to stop. I was doomed. The sight of her mangled body, down in the well, covered with the remains of Elvira, my most trusted possession. Her keys were cracked and hanging off one end with rotting bits of decay sliding down the side. How it hurt to see her, so abandoned and once so loved now gone. Forever

  4. Everything is timed. I can measure time by the buttons on my shirt and the laces on my shoes. I can measure eternity with my shower before work.

  5. it wasn’t long enough, it never was and she always wanted more. the feeling of his stomach pushing into the small of her back with every forced breath. the feeling of him pushing into her, combining and creating and combusting.

  6. it was a cold cold winter and the duration was frozen
    your heart was alone and you were off dozin’
    through mountain fields and coal mines and raisins
    there you all were, sitting for days ends

  7. “You only have five minutes left,” says the teacher. Miko is still writing his essay. He is still trying to make sense of why he is in this room, working so hard to impress a foreign school, when he can just be at home waiting for the green light to fill the gray loading bar of DotA. For his future, maybe. But when his father dies he’s pretty sure he won’t be inheriting the business anyway.

  8. The amount I have for a test. It could be one minute, or one hour, but either way, I only had a small amount of time and my future was relying on this grade. It would tell me how my reading and math skills compare and how well i do in school. Lets see how it turns out.

  9. duration of the nights and the mornings and a shower call my name and i need you
    i need your hair softly flowing down my back
    and your eyes softly squinting in the afternoon sunlight
    and your shadow telling me where you were and where you’re going

  10. durations are never long enough.
    unless they’re too long.

    i wish some things would last forever, and some things not at all. that’s what makes US durable- enduring the things that we wish had the duration of a quickly doused flame.

  11. un mundo es lo q tenemos, aunque luchemos por imponer tantos mundos como habitantes.

    Diego Quiroga
  12. During the time that it took for met to eat the cereal, I wondered, why did it take me so long? I eat this every morning. Shouldn’t the process get quicker every morning? Like waking up. I just have more and more trouble waking up every morning. Shouldn’t it get easier with routine.

  14. the duration of a kiss depends in the hear out into it. there’s not always passion but if two people really care for each other its always love.
    maybe its how well you know each other and how your soul works, it always works in mysterious ways.

  16. The duration of love depends on how spiritual you are, love is the infinite wisdom, within it is everything, its duration is infinite also. We don´t know how to love, that is the real crisis of humanity. Our love is conditioned to the other, and even to ourself. Infinite love, in power, in duration, in light, in magnitude. Not conditioned on others actions. That´s the only way to enlighten our lifes. With out it we are pure animals. Nothing else.

  17. Throughout the duration of this time, I thought about how short of time I have to write this what I want to be masterpiece. My first time on her and I’ve already fallen in love and to stress with this website. Hopefully, my sixty seconds may be extended. Most likely not. But hey, did Mozart create his masterpieces in sixty seconds… I think not.

  18. The time spent doing a particular activity. Whether long or short, the moments taken and the effort put into this activity cannot be taken back; therefore, this activity should be worth the previously-mentioned time spent and/or resources devoted to achieving the goal at hand.

  19. The duration of the flight is always what they call it, as if a flight is always something to be endured. I suppose that’s usually true–but sometimes they can be beautiful. Even though I was flying at night only because I had had to sit in the airport for hours, it was beautiful to fly above the lightning, above the clouds and among the stars, looking down on city lights.

  20. the duration of the drive was incredibly long, but they kept going as the white line blurred in front of them and the grass burned around them. Neal turned to his friend and asked them where they were going and to be honest he didn’t really know, he just followed hte road where it went, and where it stopped they would stop too. When he didn’t saying anything Neal understood and threw his bogey out hte window and watched the line fade away.

  21. For the duration of the movie, the parents could not keep their loud, screaming children even relatively silent. The kids cried for the entire film.

  22. We would like to ask that you turn off all cellphones, pagers, smartphones, video cameras, regular cameras, extraterrestrial cameras, microphones, babies, small children, angry grandparents, stereos, cars, screams, leg thumping, radios, televisions, iPods, laptops, desktops, blacktops, or any other form of loud thinking during the duration of this performance.

  23. Sometimes in life things are so hard and so heartbreaking, that one can do nothing more than endure — no matter how long it may last, you just endure.

  24. The duration of my exhaustion is everlasting. The peaks and troughs of any slight shadow of hope dies at the next challenge, the next to-do list, the next task. It is sad that I can never feel complete-that the world never seems to care about the load placed on me. The duration of my agony seems constant, rather than temporary.

  25. For the duration of his stay, he though, he’d pretend to be a CHARACTER in a PLACE doing an ACTION. And he would see what came of it. Perhaps he’d transcend himself and end (it’s in the word) up in a fab new play or movie or book. Just anywhere not here. Just anywhere!

  26. A period of time.

    ex. For the duration of class, I would like for you to write in your journals.

  27. Duration has something to do with time or endurance. im not much of a person who knows definitions of words so that’s pretty much all i can tell you. >.<

  28. I get worried that
    The duration of life is
    too short to be kind

    Craig
  29. The amount of time it might someone to perform a task. I like to say the duration of a task depends on the person doing it. People who over think will always take too long and those who think they are always right take seconds. Maybe this word doesn’t have as much meaning as I think…

    Maddie
  30. She slammed the door behind her as she stepped into the room. Still, he did not turn to look at her. He just stood there with his face turned away.

    She walked over and reached for the glass of scotch in his hand. As she approached she noticed a single tear on his cheek. She paused.

    “I.. I’m sorry…” she started. He did not respond.

    The moment’s silence and duration became equally unbearable.

    Finally, he turned around. Without a word, he put down his glass, stepped towards her and embraced her. They held each other close until their tears ceased to flow.

  31. For the duration of this disease, you will be afflicted with overpowering urges to flinch, shiver, cry, stare hopelessly at the stars or other romantic symbols. You will feel the need to contemplate future possible dates or situations in which the object of your abrupt fascination will somehow interact with you in a meaningful way. For the duration of this disease called love, you will be thoroughly miserable.

  32. The only thing I need now is duration. If I only could get a taste, a bite. I need it, I will get it, I will. Only I. I.

  33. length of time,
    long, short
    the ________ of your presentation must be 15 minutes.

  34. I didn’t know it’ll take so damn long.
    Murray lied to me, I gave him specific instructions and he didn’t follow them and he lied to me.
    His goose is cooked!

  35. Duration means a certain amount of time you have. For example: The duration of this test is 30 minutes. It means you have 30 minutes left to complete the test. Duration is about a set process, strict

  36. the duration of the car ride was unbelievably short. trees whizzed by, and other cars seemed more like blurs than machines with defined shapes. Above the sky was clear, crisp, and bluer than Goldilock’s eyes.

    Lauren
  37. I can’t imagine what she is up to. All I saw was the tear in her eye, and the scrunched face of someone who was overjoyed. He had walked in, unexpected, and high on his horse when I overheard the two of them. “You will be here for the duration of the summer, and I suppose that won’t be of much consequence.”

  38. I think that duration is all about hard work. It takes hard work to make something that will endure; have duration. Relationships that lack duration don’t lack love, they lack friendship.

    Izaak Plunkett
  39. You have the duration of your life to continue searching.
    Your searching will lead you on an adventure of your wildest dreams.
    Enjoy the journey or you wont be satisfied with your destination.

  40. The pain was there throughout. The duration was never ending. But the hope was also persistent. And then one do, he awoke. The room shined with a warm ethereal glow.
