“… people who say they don’t care about time and its passing when, really, fugitives, there’s nothing they care about more than time and its passing and passing through and being passed through by time.” —Rodrigo Fresán, The Invented Part
"Time, because it is so fleeting, time, because it is beyond recall, is the most precious of human goods and to squander it is the most delicate form of dissipation in which man can indulge." ~ W. Somerset Maugham (in "The Bum.")
