Mark Haddon Quotes

“And this means that time is a mystery, and not even a thing, and no one has ever solved the puzzle of what time is, exactly. and so, if you get lost in time it is like being lost in a desert, except that you can't see the desert because it is not a thing.

― Mark Haddon, El curioso incidente del perro a medianoche
