“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.”

“If you’re an incredibly famous rich person who does more in one day than I do in a month, does your perception of time’s passing go slower or faster than it does for me?”

“Nothing can prepare you for the yawning chasm of time that passes in Canada before the healthcare system actually does any healthcare.”

“But if you can plant yourself in stillness long enough, you will, in time, experience the truth that everything (both uncomfortable and lovely) does eventually pass.”

“The good deeds of one who, without any appropriate excuse does not offer his prayer until its time passes away, are annulled.”
