"If you want to know the value of a minute ask the person who came to the train station or airport a minute late."

"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."
"When did the future switch from being a promise to being a threat?"
