“An entire year has passed. Time is important. This I know now. As in, how much time has to pass for a forgetting to occur.”
― Jenny Tinghui Zhang, Four Treasures of the Sky

“The reason people do not want to see or address problems is because it often takes time and effort to fix them and most of us are lazy.”
― Jeffrey Fry, Distilled Thoughts

“There was a timelessness here, and yet a sense
of time greater than any before, that could only be found in a lighthouse.”
― Gina Marinello-Sweeney, Peter

“There are wounds of time and there are wounds of person, Misafir. Sometimes people come through their wounds, but time does not. Sometimes it's the other way around. Sometimes the wounds are so grievous, there's no coming through them at all.”
― Téa Obreht, Inland

“Refuse to waste time trying to convince yourself that you don't have time, when you could be using that time to actually 'do' it.”
― Oli Anderson, Personal Revolutions: A Short Course in Realness

“Master Wong told me that in ancient China, time was kept according to the position of the sun in the sky. Inherent in this character is the understanding that time is circular, that no matter how much the sun moves, it will always come back around again. In English time is spelled with four letters. A finite thing made of finite letters. Maybe this is the difference, I think, for those that speak English, there is a limit to time. That is why it is so important to differentiate between past, present and future. When I know this, I also know I will be able to write time perfectly for the rest of my life in both languages. This is how I begin to understand English.”
― Jenny Tinghui Zhang, Four Treasures of the Sky

“All of these memories, big and small, were equal in only one--but one very significant--way. They all belonged to the past, they were invisible matter, they could leave no trace or mark on the present. Only life in the moment could do that--only this second in the hour--only this one fraction of time that was gone before you could even complete the thought. It was all both that ephemeral, and that infinitely reliable.”
― Natalie Jenner, The Jane Austen Society

“Sweetly the summer air came up to the tumulus, the grass sighed softly, the butterflies went by, sometimes alighting on the green dome. Two thousand years! Summer after summer the blue butterflies had visited the mound, the thyme had flowered, the wind sighed in the grass. The azure morning had spread its arms over the low tomb; and full glowing noon burned on it; the purple of sunset rosied the sward. Stars, ruddy in the vapour of the southern horizon, beamed at midnight through the mystic summer night, which is dusky and yet full of light. White mists swept up and hid it; dews rested on the turf; tender harebells drooped; the wings of the finches fanned the air—finches whose colours faded from the wings how many centuries ago! Brown autumn dwelt in the woods beneath; the rime of winter whitened the beech clump on the ridge; again the buds came on the wind-blown hawthorn bushes, and in the evening the broad constellation of Orion covered the east. Two thousand times! Two thousand times the woods grew green, and ring-doves built their nests. Day and night for two thousand years—light and shadow sweeping over the mound—two thousand years of labour by day and slumber by night. Mystery gleaming in the stars, pouring down in the sunshine, speaking in the night, the wonder of the sun and of far space, for twenty centuries round about this low and green-grown dome. Yet all that mystery and wonder is as nothing to the Thought that lies therein, to the spirit that I feel so close.”
― Richard Jefferies, The Story of My Heart: As Rediscovered by Brooke Williams and Terry Tempest Williams

“But for this moment there is no other. Spend it well!”
― Peter Francis, Ph.D.

“Time is the most precious of all resources. It cannot be stored or saved. It cannot be bought or sold. Each precious moment must be used to its fullest or its value is lost forever.”
― Peter Francis, Ph.D.

“Didn’t know I was broken, until I wanted to change.”
― Jordan Hoechlin

“but it is not what one does so much as the way that while one does it time runs past forever.”
― Rebecca West, The Fountain Overflows

“time,
often the unpredictable
wizard that rolls the
dice for us
and death, there,
like a
panther in the shadows,
discrete yet alert”
― Hanna Abi Akl, Memory

“Distance means nothing when your loved one means everything”
― David Dephy

“Music is time domesticated, reproducible time, time shaped.”
― Mathias Énard, Compass

“There has never been a more important time in history to be an environmental radiation researcher.”
― Steven Magee

“Most of our time is spent waiting. A Ranger's best asset is patience.”
― John Flanagan, The Red Fox Clan

“I am suffocated by my own being just as much
as I am grateful for it.
I love everything in this way:
in such a way that I cannot bear it.
I know what it is
to love something so much
that every moment is something
both loved and lost.”
― Belle Townsend

“I have started to spend my Fridays
playing tennis with a boy from my class,
and he said we would only do it as long as the weather permitted.
I have started looking forward to Fridays.
It is getting colder everyday,
this is the worst part of living in New England:
how quickly the seasons change.”
― Belle Townsend

“I have started to spend my Fridays
playing tennis with a boy from my class,
and he said we would only do it as long as the weather permitted.
I have started looking forward to Fridays.
It is getting colder everyday,
this is the worst part of living in New England:
how quickly the seasons change.

But what a joy it is to have something,
anything,
just for a little while.
What a privilege it is to hold something so precious,
so small,
so unspoken,
and to wince when you have to let go.
What a treat to have so much life
grace these fingertips,
to love so much
that I now know such loss.

What a curse
to have it all move so quickly,
to have it be
out of reach
so fast.”
― Belle Townsend, Push and Pull

“We forget
that the days we are just getting through add up,
and that history does not feel like history to those in the middle of it.”
― Belle Townsend, Push and Pull

“Worship time. The wheel of time is constantly moving. And as the wheel turns, everything, and everyone, changes.”
― AVIS Viswanathan

“She had seen the faces of shattered dreams, the zippy Ziegfeld girls, the doll-faced divorcées, the wellborn wives in opulent ivory towers, knocked down and knocked right out.”
― Pamela Hamilton, Lady Be Good: The Life and Times of Dorothy Hale

“At first glance her beauty was striking—fresh-faced and delicate with large eyes, her little black dress cinched at the waist, her hair pinned in a chignon. At second glance, her deep, intelligent eyes were entrancing, still vivid on newspapers yellowed from light and air and lined with age that Fate didn’t offer to her.”
― pamela hamilton, Lady Be Good: The Life and Times of Dorothy Hale

“Killing is bad even if that is time!”
― Abhijit Kar Gupta, Scientific Computing in Python

“Brytyjskie i nowozelandzkie gazety znów piszÄ… o legendarnych potomkach buntowników z Bounty. I o tym, że nastaÅ‚o nowe. Bo w zachodnim sposobie myÅ›lenia ważne jest nowe. CzÅ‚owiek bombardowany jest przekazem, że nowe jest lepsze. OglÄ…da wiadomoÅ›ci, czyta depesze: powoÅ‚ano nowy rzÄ…d, nowy przywódca szansÄ… na Å‚ad. Ten, kto wprowadza nowe, zyskuje czas. Krytyczny umysÅ‚ tÄ™pieje, czÅ‚owiek nie wierzy w wyższość nowego, ale nie może z nim dyskutować, podważyć go. WiÄ™c czeka, aż nowe zawiedzie.”

― Steven Magee

“Time. That was always the problem, wasn’t it? Running out of it. Having too much of it. Waiting for it. Cursing it.

Enduring it. Surviving it. Time was the fucking enemy.

All he needed was more time.”
― Daryl Banner, When I See You Again

“I have never asked anyone including my loved ones to hold back or not Hurting me intentionally or unintentionally. It's ok because Time says it all. (GMT-7) - /•|•\ T∆Nv€€π \•|â€�/”
