“A moment was not a single moment at all, but rather an infinite number of different moments, depending on who was seeing things and how.”
“the difference between a rebel and a patriot depends upon who is in power at the moment.”
“The present moment can be chopped into infinitely smaller present moments. This moment is forever. And it is all that matters.”
“...Loving anyone, anywhere, at any time, leaves you infinitely vulnerable at every single moment.”
“The Tralfamadorians can look at all the different moments just that way we can look at a stretch of the Rocky Mountains, for instance. They can see how permanent all the moments are, and they can look at any moment that interests them. It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever.”
“The day is made up of 24 hours and an infinite number of moments. We need to be aware of those moments and make the most of them regardless of whether we're busy doing something or contemplating life.”
