Time

Doug Larson
For disappearing acts, it's hard to beat what happens to the eight hours supposedly left after eight hours of sleep and eight hours of work.

Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening all at once.

GEORGE ORWELL
Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.

HARLAN ELLISON
Time is like a river, flowing endlessly through the universe. And if you poled your flatboat in that river, you might fight your way against the current and travel upstream into the past. Or go with the flow and rush into the future. This was in a less cynical time before toxic waste dumping and pollution filled the waterway of Chronus with the detritus of empty hours, wasted minutes, years of repetition and time that has been killed.

ANATOLE FRANCE
The average man who does not know what to do with his life, wants another one which will last forever.

ALLAN LAMPORT
All this progress is marvelous. . . now if only it would stop!

ALBERT EINSTEIN
Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.

RICHARD P. FEYNMAN
We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.
