“When i was alive, I believed as you do - that time was at least as real and solid as myself, and probably more so. I said 'one-o'clock' as though I could see it, and 'Monday' as though I could find it on a map. And I let myself be hurried along from minute to minute, day to day, year to year - as though I were actually moving from one place to another. Like everyone else, I lived in a house bricked up with seconds and minutes, weekends and New Year's days, And I never went outside until I died, because there was no other door... Now I know that I could have walked through walls.” — Peter S. Beagle
