“The ordinary rules of life do not apply to a genius.”
“If she can do the splits, the 5 second rule does not apply”
“The past is always a rebuke to the present.”
“History always constitutes the relation between a present and its past. Consequently fear of the present leads to mystification of the past”
“How can the past and future be, when the past no longer is, and the future is not yet? As for the present, if it were always present and never moved on to become the past, it would not be time, but eternity.”
