“Time can tick when there is no clock.”
“The clock always ticks. There are times you don't hear it, and there are times that you do.”
“When the clock Tick Tocks the party never stops!”
“Just like the beating of the heart of a man...so is the ticking of a clock...and just like the ticking of a clock...so is the ticking of a bomb.”
“The days were longer then (for time, like money, is measured by our needs), when summer afternoons were spacious, and the clock ticked slowly in the winter evenings.”
“The clock ticked with empty urgency, as though trying to catch up with the time. In the street a siren howled.”
