Quotes by Adam Pelzman (?)

“That's one of the things my dad taught me-that one of the most respectful things you can do for another person is be on time. 'Cause what's more valuable than one single minute in a human being's life? Time is finite, he used to say, the most precious and limited resource.”
― Adam Pelzman, Troika

― Adam Pelzman, Troika
