Quotes about Time

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

Hello and welcome to Tuesday. I hope you enjoyed the music from yesterday. I rather like those songs.

Time is one of those things we pretend we understand but really know nothing about. We measure it, yes, but what are we measuring? Minutes? Seconds? Both are measurements of time, but what is time?

No, I’m not going to ask for an essay about what time is. No worries there.

Inspired by Elisa’s quote about time in the comments on yesterday’s post – “Cannot run out of time. There is infinite time. You are finite. Zathras is finite. This is wrong tool. No. No. Never use this.” -Babylon 5 – I’m going to try something else to inspire you today.

I’m going to put up some quotes about time for you to go through. See what strikes you, what you agree with, what you disagree with… Perhaps even use one of the quotes as the opening line for one of your characters.

See where inspiration takes you. (more…)
