“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 fact that we have these rules means that we’ve given up some of our freedom. And yet we’ve surrounded ourselves with reminders of that loss of freedom - by hanging clocks on walls and dotting them around our houses. And as if that weren’t enough, we make sure that there’s a clock wherever we go, no matter what we’re doing. We’ve even felt the need to wrap our bodies up in time by going so far as to wrap it around our wrists.”

“U svakoj okolnosti ne zaboravi one koji su proživjeli isto i uzvratili zlovoljom, nevjericom, ili pritužbama. I, gdje su sada? Nigdje. Dakle, želiš li postupiti poput njih? Zašto ćud i hirove drugih ne prepustiti hirovitosti i hirovitima, a sebe dokraja usredotočiti na pitanje kako iskoristiti te okolnosti? Tada ćeš ih iskoristiti ispravno, i one će biti sirovine u tvojim rukama. Samo pazi, u svemu što činiš traži vlastito najveće dobro. Pamti to dvoje: djelovanje je važno, kontekst je nevažan.”
