People never seemed to notice that, by saving time, they were losing something else. No one cared to admit that life was becoming ever poorer, bleaker and more monotonous. The ones who felt this most keenly were the children, because no one had time for them anymore. But time is life itself, and life resides in the human heart. And the more people saved, the less they had. Michael Ende
In all my life I'd never been approached this way, the car pulling up, the Where you going? It was something I wish had happened hundreds of times.
