“There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep.”

“So many words, so little time.”

“Consider the word “time.” We use so many phrases with it. Pass time. Waste time. Kill time. Lose time. In good time. About time. Take your time. Save time. A long time. Right on time. Out of time. Mind the time. Be on time. Spare time. Keep time. Stall for time. There are as many expressions with “time” as there are minutes in a day. But once, there was no word for it at all. Because no one was counting. Then Dor began. And everything changed.”

“By the time I found sleep that night, back in the Hawk's Keep, my throat was tight with too many tears unshed, screams unuttered and prayers whose words I could never seem to find.”

“A long time. Right on time. Out of time. Mind the time. Be on time. Spare time. Keep time. Stall for time.There are as many expressions with "time" as there are minutes in a day.But once, there was no word for it at all. Because no one was counting.”

“...words so precisely placed that in combination with other words, also precisely placed, they carve out a shape in space and time.”
