James K.A. Smith

“Time is the substance I am made of. Time is a river which sweeps me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger which destroys me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire which consumes me, but I am the fire. —Jorge Luis Borges, “A New Refutation of Time”

― James K.A. Smith, How to Inhabit Time: Understanding the Past, Facing the Future, Living Faithfully Now
