Alan Lightman
“Yet the time-deaf are unable to speak what they know. For speech needs a sequence of words, spoken in time.”
Alan Lightman, Einstein’s Dreams

Alan Lightman
“If time and the passage of events are the same, then time moves barely at all. If time and events are not the same, then it is only people who barely move. If a person holds no ambitions in this world, he suffers unknowingly. If a person holds ambitions, he suffers knowingly, but very slowly.”
Alan Lightman, Einstein’s Dreams

Alan Lightman
“Two men who had never seen each other before and would not likely see each other again. But their sincerity and sweetness, their sharing an instant in a fleeting life. It was almost as if a secret had passed between them. Was this some kind of love? I wanted to follow them, to touch them, to tell them of my happiness. I wanted to whisper to them: 'This is it. This is it'".”
Alan Lightman, Mr g

Christopher Hitchens
“From Alan Lightman's intricate 1993 novel Einstein's Dreams; set in Berne in 1905: With infinite life comes an infinite list of relatives. Grandparents never die, nor do great-grandparents, great-aunts...and so on, back through the generations, all alive and offering advice. Sons never escape from the shadows of their fathers. Nor do daughters of their mothers. No one ever comes into his own...Such is the cost of immortality. No person is whole. No person is free.”
Christopher Hitchens, Mortality

Vergílio Ferreira
“-Ouça, doutor: se alguma coisa me preocupou sempre foi ser consequente, unir o que faço ao que sinto. Porque não faz o mesmo?
- Como não faço o mesmo?
- Oh, não faz...Se o fizessse,já me tinha beijado...”
Vergílio Ferreira, Aparição
