“Time becomes meaningless without memory.”
Jon Edgell, Resolution

“Time becomes meaningless without memory and we humans have a unique consciousness that allows us to live in the past or the future, which is actually more of a curse than a useful superpower.”
Jon Edgell, Resolution

“Month to month there were many discrepancies carried forward without resolution through what I jokingly called my “999 (or Nick Leeson)” account.”
Jon Edgell, Bust

“Time interval is a strange and contradictory matter in the mind. It would be reasonable to suppose that a routine time or an eventless time would seem interminable. It should be so, but it is not. It is the dull eventless times that have no duration whatever. A time splashed with interest, wounded with tragedy, crevassed with joy - that's the time that seems long in the memory. And this is right when you think about it. Eventlessness has no posts to drape duration on. From nothing to nothing is no time at all.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“Time becomes meaningless without memory and we humans have a unique consciousness that allows us to live in the past or the future, which is actually more of a curse than a useful superpower.”
Jon Edgell, Resolution

“[Cats] are blissfully unaware that they have only a finite time in which to finish their ‘to do’ list.”
Jon Edgell, Resolution

“Time becomes meaningless without memory.”
Jon Edgell, Resolution

“I thought of my dear late wife who relaxed me when things were stressful with the wonderful, simple words; "There is nothing to be done right now." {Drowndog}”
