If both what is before and what is after are in this same “now,” things which happened ten thousand years ago would be simultaneous with what has happened today, and nothing would be before or after anything else.

Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real.

No preacher is listened to but time, which gives us the same train and turn of thought that elder people have in vain tried to put into our heads before.

The best way to fill time is to waste it.

There is no work of human hands which time does not wear away and reduce to dust.
