quotations about time

Wherever anything lives, there is, open somewhere, a register in which time is being inscribed.
HENRI BERGSON
Creative Evolution
Anesthetized time; nothing moves and everything is at once.
KEN KESEY
Sometimes a Great Notion
The touch of time does more than the club of Hercules.
JAMES BRANCH CABELL
The Way of Ecben
The end we know not; but we wander on,
Down the regretful wilderness of time.
HENRY ABBEY
"Emmanuel"
We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives,
Who thinks most, feels noblest, acts the best
PHILIP JAMES BAILEY
Festus
Time seems to me a drift, a shifting of sand. And my mind is shifting with it. I am wearing away.
E. L. DOCTOROW
Homer & Langley
Time is always relative.... For the terminally ill, six months are a lifetime, and not a very long one. To a three-year-old waiting for Christmas, it's an eternity so distant it's not even worth thinking about.
JOHN SAUL
Midnight Voices
It is said that time is a predator that stalks us all our lives. But I'd like to believe that time is a companion that goes with us on a journey, reminds us to cherish every moment because they won't come again.
