Timing Quotes (page 237)

A bit of advice. Given to a young Native American. At the time of his initiation: As you go the way of life, You will see a great chasm. Jump. It is not as wide as you think. Joseph Campbell
How can we judge fairly of the characters and merits of men, of the wisdom or folly of actions, unless we have . . . an accurate knowledge of all particulars, so that we may live as it were in the times, and among the persons, of whom we read, see with their eyes, and reason and decide on their premises? William Wilberforce
Man has been reared by his errors: first he never saw himself other than imperfectly, second he attributed to himself imaginary qualities, third he felt himself in a false order of rank with animal and nature, fourth he continually invented new tables of values and for a time took each of them to be eternal and unconditional...If one deducts the effect of these four errors, one has also deducted away humanity, humaneness, and 'human dignity'. Friedrich Nietzsche
Don't be in a hurry to condemn because he doesn't do what you do or think as you think or as fast. There was a time when you didn't know what you know today. Malcolm X
Is that all, sir? Only we've got stuff to finish before our knocking-off time, you see, and if we stay late we have to make more money to pay our overtime, and if the lads is a bit tired we ends up earning the money faster'n we can make it, which leads to a bit of what I can only call a conundru?"You mean that if you do overtime you have to do more overtime to pay for it?" said Moist, still pondering how illogical logical thinking can be if a big enough committee is doing it."That's right,... Terry Prachett
There are things that are more important than the news and what’s happening today. There are these archetypes which are part of the human imagination since humans were presumably imaginative. And I think that’s what [people] find touching, these eternal ideas. It’s one of the things that makes fantasy something that tends to stand the test of time because we’re reading, 50 years later, The Lord of the Rings. Clive Barker
Emile M. Cioran quote: "Between Ennui and Ecstasy unwinds our whole experience of time."
Between Ennui and Ecstasy unwinds our whole experience of time. Emile M. Cioran
Maybe the only thing that hints at a sense of Time is rhythm; not the recurrent beats of the rhythm but the gap between two such beats, the gray gap between black beats: the Tender Interval. Vladimir Nabokov
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "Deeds need time, even after they are done, in order to be seen..."
Deeds need time, even after they are done, in order to be seen or heard. Friedrich Nietzsche
Francis Bacon quote: "A man that is young in years may be old in hours if he have..."
A man that is young in years may be old in hours if he have lost no time. Francis Bacon
Aiden Wilson Tozer quote: "When you kill time, remember that it has no resurrection."
When you kill time, remember that it has no resurrection. Aiden Wilson Tozer
The belief that time is a linear, directed sequence running from A to B is a modern illusion. In fact, it can also go from B to A, the effect producing the cause. Umberto Eco
In the 40,000 year time scale we're all the same people. We're all equally primitive, give or take two or three thousand years here or a hundred years there. Gary Snyder
Every period of human development has had its own particular type of human conflict---its own variety of problem that, apparently, could be settled only by force. And each time, frustratingly enough, force never really settled the problem. Instead, it persisted through a series of conflicts, then vanished of itself---what's the expression---ah, yes, 'not with a bang, but a whimper,' as the economic and social environment changed. And then, new problems, and a new series of wars. Isaac Asimov
In the light of trust, as it develops slowly over time, you will find that you are a privileged child of the universe, entirely safe, entirely supported, entirely loved. Deepak Chopra
