“You can't measure time by days, the way you measure money by dollars and cents, because dollars are all the same while every day is different and maybe every hour as well.”

“Being with you and not being with you is the only way I have to measure time.”

“God is more generous than men and will measure them by a different standard.”

“He measured the achievements of others by what they had accomplished, asking of them that they measure him by what he envisaged or planned.”

“His life, measured in space and time, will take up a mere few lines, which my ignorance will abbreviate further.”

“The web of time - the strands of which approach one another, bifurcate, intersect, or ignore each other through the centuries - embraces "every" possibility. We do not exist in most of them. In some you exist and not I, while in others I do, and you do not, and in yet others both of us exist.”

“What one man does is something done, in some measure, by all men. For that reason a disobedience committed in a garden contaminates the human race; for that reason it is not unjust that the crucifixion of a single Jew suffices to safe it. Perhaps Schopenhauer is right: I am all others, any men is all men, Shakespeare is in some way the wretched John Vincent Moon.”
