“The tragedy of this world is that no one is happy, whether stuck in a time of pain or joy.”

“Each person who gets stuck in time gets stuck alone.”

“The tragedy of this world is that everyone is alone. For a life in the past cannot be shared with the present.”

“A world with one month is a world of equality.”

“Consider a world in which cause and effect are erratic. Sometimes the first precedes the second, sometimes the second the first.... Each act is an island in time, to be judged on its own. It is a world of impulse. It is a world of sincerity. It is a world in which every word spoken speaks just to that moment, every glance given has only one meaning, each touch has no past or future, each kiss becomes a kiss of immediacy.”

“Imagine a world in which there is no time. Only images.”

“In this world, time has three dimensions, like space. Just as an object may move in three perpendicular directions, corresponding to horizontal, vertical, and longitudinal, so an object may participate in three perpendicular futures. Each future moves in a different direction of time. Each future is real. At every point of decision, the world splits into three worlds, each with the same people, but different fates for those people. In time, there are an infinity of worlds.”
