Gabriel García Márquez
“They lost their sense of reality, the notion of time, the rhythm of daily habits.”
Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations)

Haruki Murakami
“Silence. How long it lasted, I couldn't tell. It might have been five seconds, it might have been a minute. Time wasn't fixed. It wavered, stretched, shrank. Or was it me that wavered, stretched, and shrank in the silence? I was warped in the folds of time, like a reflection in a fun house mirror.”
Haruki Murakami, Dance Dance Dance
