Consider the word “time.” We use so many phrases with it. Pass time. Waste time. Kill time. Lose time. In good time. About time. Take your time. Save time. A long time. Right on time. Out of time. Mind the time. Be on time. Spare time. Keep time. Stall for time. There are as many expressions with “time” as there are minutes in a day. But once, there was no word for it at all. Because no one was counting. Then Dor began. And everything changed.

Mitch Albom

'The Squid and the Whale' I shot in 23 days. I would have loved more time for it at the time, but in some ways that kind of kamikaze way of shooting was right for that movie.

Noah Baumbach

Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time.

Karl Marx

As a novelist, I suppose I can say that I'm highly articulate. But I know, as a person, in other ways, I'm not always articulate. I think we are all, from time to time, inarticulate, at some level, about some things.

Graham Swift

I have always thought of Christmas time... as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time.

Charles Dickens

Depending on whom you ask, time is money, time is love, time is work, time is play, time is enjoying friends, time is raising children, and time is much more. Time is what you make of it.

Philip Zimbardo

Sometimes when you're fighting, fighting, fighting, the mind needs some time off and you regroup and get back to normal.

David Ortiz

But I am sure that I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round...as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely.

Charles Dickens

The dialogue is out there, the veil has been lifted. We all know that there's a ways to go. We're still fighting uphill battles, and you just have to hone in on making change, one dialogue at a time, one course of action at a time.

Kate Hudson

There is a balance, a kind of standoff between the time continuum and the human entity, our frail bundle of soma and psyche. We eventually succumb to time, it's true, but time depends on us. We carry it in our muscles and genes, pass it on to the next set of time-factoring creatures, our brown-eyed daughters and jug-eared sons, or how would the world keep going. Never mind the time theorists, the cesium devices that measure the life and death of the smallest silvery trillionth of a second.... We were the only crucial clocks, our minds and bodies, way stations for the distribution of time.

Don DeLillo

I went to get a detective story. You have to kill time. But time will kill me too - and there´s the true, preestablished balance.

Simone de Beauvoir

My mission is to kill time, and time's to kill me in its turn. How comfortable one is among murderers.

Emil Cioran

Once I lived in time as a fish in water, breathing it, drinking it, sustained by it. Now I kill time and time kills me.

J. M. Coetzee

Time itself is our tragedy and most of us are fighting some kind of war against it.

Rebecca Solnit

Time is totally perishable and cannot be stored. Yesterday's time is gone forever, and will never come back. Time is always in short supply. There is no substitute for time. Everything requires time.

Peter Drucker

I'm convinced, that when you are a footballer you are a symbol. You have to be a superman in some ways, to send messages to people all the time, to the youth all the time.

Emmanuel Petit
