What does the quote mean; the only constant is change facets of an empire are vast slightly removed?

Question:recently bought a new volcom shirt and it had this quote on it, its a sweet shirt but i have no idea what this quote is talking about.

Answers:
i'll never forget being in jr. high and having my teacher give us this quote, "the only constant is change." she asked us to write what it meant to us... it took me years to get it.

everything and everybody is constantly changing. therefore... the only thing is this world that really is constant is the fact that things change.

facets are a small smooth surface on a gem...
empire would be supreme control or a group of people or nations ruled by one power.
vast has to do with a great extent of something or large amount.
slightly is little.
removed is well... not being there anymore. (often times changes have to do with people moving, people dying, feelings leaving, throwing things away... thus the choice of the word removed - i think)

so, putting that all together, i'd have to say:
the only thing constant in this world are changes that happen slowly (or slightly), but make a vast (or huge) difference in the way things are in the world (empire, country you live in, or city/town you live in.)

hope that whole thing makes sense.
