We have trained them to think of the Future as a promised land which favoured heroes attain—not as something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is. — C.S. Lewis · 1942 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. — Psalm 90:4 · 450 BC

Comedy1 quote

I know we've only known each other four weeks and three days, but to me it seems like nine weeks and five days. The first day seemed like a week and the second day seemed like five days. And the third day seemed like a week again and the fourth day seemed like eight days. And the fifth day you went to see your mother and that seemed just like a day, and then you came back and later on the sixth day, in the evening, when we saw each other, that started seeming like two days, so in the evening it seemed like two days spilling over into the next day and that started seeming like four days, so at the end of the sixth day on into the seventh day, it seemed like a total of five days. And the sixth day seemed like a week and a half. — Navin Johnson · 1979

Epic1 quote

Time is relative, okay? It can stretch and it can squeeze, but...it can't run backwards. Just can't. The only thing that can move across dimensions, like time, is gravity. — Brand · 2014

Psychological literature1 quote

Let anyone try, I will not say to arrest, but to notice or attend to, the present moment of time. One of the most baffling experiences occurs. Where is it, this present? It has melted in our grasp, fled ere we could touch it, gone in the instant of becoming. — William James · 1890
