  • After all, that was a main purpose of science: to make things of all kinds happen sooner than they otherwise would.

  • Everything to do with time is hideous.

  • In the end I came to see that the true prophet of the modern world was Samuel Butler: when he suggested that the machine was an evolutionary development, destined to supersede man as the dominant species and reduce him to greenfly status, the status of machine-minder, homo mechanicus instead of homo sapiens; and to modify his nature accordingly.

  • It is strange that people train themselves so carefully to go to waste so prematurely

  • The first step towards mastering time is always to make time meaningless

  • When you live entirely among madmen, it is difficult to know how sane you are.
