“One has to 'leave philosophy aside,' one has to leap out of it and devote oneself
like an ordinary man to the study of actuality . . . Philosophy and the study of the actual world have the same relation to one another as masturbation and sexual love.”
― The German Ideology / Theses on Feuerbach / Introduction to the Critique of Political Economy

“What is time? If no one asks me, I know; if I want to explain it to a questioner, I don't know. But at any rate this much I dare affirm I know: that if nothing passes, there would be no past time; if nothing were approaching, there would be no future time; if nothing were, there would be no present time.
But the two times, past and future, how can they be, since the past is no more and the future is not yet? On the other hand, if the present were always present and never flowed away into the past, it would not be time at all, but eternity. But if the present is only time, because it flows away into the past, how we can say that it is? For it is, only because it will cease to be. Thus we can affirm that time is only in that it tends towards not-being.”
