“Glance into the world just as though time were gone: and everything crooked will become straight to you.”
“Everything straight lies,' murmured the dwarf disdainfully. 'All truth is crooked, time itself is a circle.”
“And just when I though things were starting to get better, everything had gone wrong again.”
“The partial becomes complete; the crooked, straight; the empty, full; the worn out, new.”
“I regret everything because it has just finished, and already when I was twelve, I lamented the time that had gone by. Even in the best of spirits, it's always been as though I wrestle with the present in a vain effort to stop its becoming the past.”
“If you want everything to be nice and straight all the time, then go live in a world made with a triungular ruler.”
