Change

I am hoping someone on this board can help me. A few days ago, my life was forever changed in only an instant. I want to get a tattoo that will remind me that everything can change in an instant. I am going to put the phrase in small script in the form of a tattoo...does anyone know of a short phrase or quotation that embodies this idea? I would greatly appreciate your help.

Well, there's the song:

I close my eyes
Only for a moment, then the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind, ohh

Now, don't hang on
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Then there is a word:
Ephemeral
Main Entry: 1ephem·er·al
Pronunciation: i-'fem-r&l, -'fEm-; -'fe-m&-, -'fE-
Function: adjective
Etymology: Greek ephEmeros lasting a day, daily, from epi- + hEmera day
1 : lasting one day only
2 : lasting a very short time
synonym see TRANSIENT
- ephem·er·al·ly /-r&-lE/ adverb

I have this wonderful vision of all those lyrics tattooed down an entire leg. The question, of course, is what do we inscribe on the other leg in order to disfigure ourself symmetrically? "Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight?"
