“If someone is merely ahead of his time, it will catch up to him one day.”

“I could make him mine. But I don't want him. I want someone else. It feels strange to have spent so much time wishing for something, for someone, and then one day, suddenly, to just stop.”

“Sometimes, when you catch someone unaware at just the right time and in just the right light, you can catch sight of what they will be.”

“The future rose up ahead of her, a succession of empty days, each more daunting and unknowable than the one before her.”

“Time after time she opened her door to catch the first glimmer of day; and she rejoiced when early Dawn lit up the sky and people in the town began to stir.”

“Time is a master of ceremonies who always ends up putting us in our rightful place, we advance, stop and retreat according to his orders, our mistake lies in imagination that we can catch him out.”

“You're flirting with time baby
Flirting with time, but maybe,
Time baby, is catching up with you.”

“You can't gain one thing without loosing something else.
You can try to catch time, but try to catch a moment, it's better.
Days pass, and months go by
And the years come, and a decades gone
It always feels like times are ending
But they go on, and on, and on, and on.”

“No artist is ahead of his time. He is the time. It is just that others are behind the time.”

“One time I even said to him [ Joseph Beuys ], 'Architecture is a catastrophe in Germany; we've got to change that.' And he told me, 'Go ahead, you can always sign for me if you ever need to.' I've never taken him up on the offer, though!”
