This is Year Zero.

Time is a veil interposed between God and ourselves, as our eyelid is between our eye and the light.

Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its brevity.

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.

The appointed thing comes at the appointed time in the appointed way.
