“Any acceleration constitutes progress, Miss Glory. Nature had no understanding of the modern rate of work. From a technical standpoint the whole of childhood is pure nonsense. Simply wasted time. An untenable waste of time.”

“Technology is not simply additive; it is more often exponential. An invention usually triggers other inventions.”

“To say that the invention "was in the air" or "the times were ripe for it" are just other ways of stating that the inventors did not do the inventing, but that the cultures did.”

“time wasted is not always a waste of time.”

“Life is a waste of time. Time is a waste of life. Get wasted all the time and you'll have the time of your life.”

“Regret for wasted time is more wasted time”

“The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.”

“Wasting time with the wrong person is just time wasted.”

“Life is a waste of time and time is a waste of life, so let's all get wasted and have the time of our lives.”
