“To world enough and time.” — Audrey Niffenegger Quote

“To world enough and time.”

“When I am out there, in time, I am inverted, changed into a desperate version of myself. I become a thief, a vagrant, an animal who runs and hides. I startle old women and amaze children. I am a trick, an illusion of the highest order, so incredible that I am actually true.”

“We are often insane with happiness. We are also very unhappy for reasons neither of us can do anything about. Like being separated.”

“I think about my mother singing after lunch on a Summer afternoon, twirling in blue dress across the floor of her dressing room”

“Even her name seemed empty, as though it had detached itself from her and was floating untethered in his mind. How am I supposed to live without you? It was not a matter of the body; his body would carry on as usual. The problem was located in the word how: he would live, but without Elspeth the flavour, the manner, the method of living were lost to him. He would have to relearn solitude.”

“You can't be afraid to fail. It's the only way you succeed - you're not gonna succeed all the time, and I know that.”

“Jerry Ford is so dumb he can't fart and chew gum at the same time.”

“Mindfulness brings to light that we are all ripples of the same ocean, the ocean of consciousness.”

“Was it my time for writing poems about McCarthy or my time for sending out fresh salmon or the time of playing happy telephone or my time for dictating memoranda about what's wrong with America?... or my time for crying.”

“I've climbed up here holding the hilt of time's sword by driving it into my tender heart.”

“Astfgl sat back. He wondered what did happen to Lavaeoulus.”
