“Every day people sleep, wake up, work, and eat according to the established set of rules we call time. In other words, we set our lives by the clock. Human beings went through the trouble of inventing rules that imposed limits on their lives, boxing them up into hours, days, and years. And then they invented clocks to make time’s rule over us even more precise.”

“The airplane stays up because it doesn't have the time to fall.”

Or six times more than the time passed since you became a teenager. That's a lot! You're very rich in time, but not so rich in money. So you trade one for the other, it makes sense, right?”

“Don't just take your time,”
