“Committee - a group of men who keep minutes and waste hours.”
“If the word "committee" were an acronym, the two "T"s would stand for time travel. How else can a group waste so much time unless they feel they can always go back and retrieve it?”
“What is a committee? A group of the unwilling, picked from the unfit, to do the unnecessary”
“Everyone just wasting time because they have so much of it to waste, minutes slipping by on who's with who and did you hear.”
“the clock is not merely a means of keeping track of the hours, but of synchronising the actions of men”
“It's kind of like when a clock battery runs down. The hour and minute hands don't disappear, but they don't keep ticking either. They freeze on the last minute they measured.”
