"If you want to know the value of a minute ask the person who came to the train station or airport a minute late."
"Don't equate effective living to being busy."
"We were the only two people in the entire airport who lost total track of time, for we were consumed by space-time at that present moment.

All that there is, is the present."
"If you refuse to deal with time today, time will deal with you tomorrow."
