“To conclude: time doesn’t pass. (I hope the reader is now convinced!)”
“An eternal universe is incompatible with the continuing existence of irreversible physical processes.”
“Belief in a divine being who starts the universe off and then “sits back” to watch events unfold, taking no direct part in subsequent affairs, is known as “deism.” Here God’s nature is captured by the image of the perfect watchmaker, a sort of cosmic engineer, who designs and constructs a vast and elaborate mechanism and then sets it going.”
“At the heart of thermodynamics lies the second law, which forbids heat to flow spontaneously from cold to hot bodies, while allowing it to flow from hot to cold. This law is therefore not reversible: it imprints upon the universe an arrow of time, pointing the way of unidirectional change.”
“Tidak ada kesalah-pahaman mengenai ilmuwan yang lebih besar daripada kepercayaan yang berkembang bahwa mereka adalah individu-individu yang dingin, keras, dan tak berjiwa.”
“Confront Liars with Truth and they will devastate themselves in course of Time – unless they confess early enough that they lied.”
“It is a fabled city that I seek;”
“Moderation is the key so I work certain amount of time and then I take a certain amount of time off.”
“You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby.”
“We teach our child many things I don’t believe in, and almost nothing I do believe in. We teach punctuality, particularly if the enforcement of it disturbs the peace. My father taught me, by example, that the greatest defeat in life was to miss a train. Only after many years did I learn that an escaping train carries away with it nothing vital to my health. Railroad trains are such magnificent objects we commonly mistake them for Destiny.”
“Max had once read in one of his father's books that some childhood images become engraved in the mind like photographs, like scenes you can return to again and again and will always remember, no matter how much time goes by.”
