“The increase of disorder or entropy is what distinguishes the past from the future, giving a direction to time.”

“Entropy increases. Things fall apart.”

“Her mind was all disorder. The past, present, future, every thing was terrible.”

“What is history? An echo of the past in the future; a reflex from the future on the past.”

“Strange department, this. Their motto was: "The comprehension of Infinity requires infinite time." I did not argue with that, but then they derived an unexpected conclusion from it: Therefore work or not, it´s all the same." In the interests of not increasing the entropy of the universe, they did not work.”

“The future is foretold from the past and the future is only possible because of the past. Without past and future, the present is partial. All time is eternally present and so all time is ours. There is no sense in forgetting and every sense in dreaming. Thus the present is made rich.”
