“As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.”

“And killing time is perhaps the essence of comedy, just as the essence of tragedy is killing eternity.”

“Time is the mercy of Eternity; without Time's swiftness Which is the swiftest of all things, all were eternal torment.”

“If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers — war without tears.”

“If you kill such a one as I am, you will injure yourselves more than you will injure me. Meletus and Anytus will not injure me: they cannot; for it is not in the nature of things that a bad man should injure one better than himself. I do not deny that he may, perhaps, kill him, or drive him into exile, or deprive him of civil rights; and he may imagine, and others may imagine, that he is doing him a great injury: but in that I do not agree with him; for the evil of doing what Anytus is doing — of unjustly taking away another man's life — is greater far.”

“The first cases to be adjudicated between people on the Day of Judgment will be those of bloodshed [killing and injuring]”

“It's bad enough wasting time without killing it.”

“Eternity is a long time to spend alone, without others of your kind.”

“And eternity is a long time. So if you have to spend it with someone I could see wanting to spend it with someone impossible… but interesting….”

“Time is eternity and eternity is time, just as long as you yourself don't make them different”
