“The ticking of the clock has gotten so loud." - 74”
“Just like the beating of the heart of a man...so is the ticking of a clock...and just like the ticking of a clock...so is the ticking of a bomb.”
“It is a subliminal thing. It is the tick of a clock that has ticked so long one no longer notices. Something is in a room when a man lives in it. Something is not in the room when a man is dead in it.”
“For the starship's inhabitants, time now stands still.For planet Earth, the clock has begun ticking...”
“There was a sudden stillness like the gap between ticks on a clock, but the next tick never coming.”
“Time can tick when there is no clock.”
