“Time passes. Horror does not.”

“Remember, everything passes, even the most unspeakable horrors”

“Broad daylight does not encourage the apprehension of horror.”

“Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.”

“Oh! think what anxious moments pass between
The birth of plots, and their last fatal periods,
Oh! 'tis a dreadful interval of time,
Filled up with horror all, and big with death!”

“Every village has its simpleton, and if one does not exist they invent one to pass the time.”

“It passes, but it does not pass away.”

“Time is not measured by the passing of years but by what one does, what one feels, and what one achieves.”

“Do days exist without calendars? Does time pass when there are no human hands left to wind the clocks?”

“Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me.”
