Stopping Time Quotes

“She imagined she could pull Time like taffy, stretching it longer and longer between her hands until the finest point had been reached, the point just before breaking, and she could live there. A point at the center of time with no going forward, no going back. Clasped in this way, without speaking, walking into no discernible ending, she could almost believe they tread on time.”
― Sarah Blake, The Postmistress

“Find us a deep wood; we will live in trees
Find us a lone beach; we will sleep with stars,
Or a greater favor do for us please;
Stop Earth from turning so Time can be ours.
Hold onto those sweet moments giv’n we will
Of the love we had when Earth was held still.”
― Kelleen Goerlitz, The Complete Works of a Lost Girl

“One must stop time to listen to a story.”
― Nnedi Okorafor, The Book of Phoenix
