“The clock is impotent; mechanical time does not affect those living in an eternal present.”

“The secret of the creative life is to feel at ease with your own embarrassment.”

“I'm basically depressive, cynical, prone to intellectualization.”

“The clock indicates the moment-but what does eternity indicate?”

“On the church vaulting above was the clock-face of eternity, void of number and serving as its own hand, only one black finger was pointing and the dead wanted to tell the time by it.”

“I do not live in the present ... I AM the present.”

“In this world, there are two times. There is mechanical time and there is body time.""They do not keep clocks in their houses. Instead, they listen to their heartbeats. They feel the rhythms of their moods and desires.""Then there are those who think their bodies don't exist. They live by mechanical time. They rise at seven o'clock in the morning. They eat their lunch at noon and their supper at six. They arrive at their appointments on time, precisely by the clock.”
