“You never do find out what makes you tick, and after a while it's unimportant.”
“It's not what you do once in a while, it's what you day in and day out that makes the difference.”
“It was like the moment before you open a present, still hidden inside its box and wrappings; while you're waiting to find out what it is, the eagerness and impatience and curiosity and anticipation grip you in an even stronger, more thrilling way than you feel after you find out what's inside.”
“What a pity clocks don't realize the interesting work they do in making history, as they go on ticking out moments which never before have been and never will be again!”
“What would I do without you?""You'll never find out.”
“Seeds in a dry pod, tick, tick, tick, Tick, tick, tick, what little iambics, While Homer and Whitman roared in the pines.”
