“In my next life I want to live my life backwards. You start out dead and get that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old people's home feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and a party on your first day. You work for 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high school. You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play. You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born. And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and then Voila! You finish off as an orgasm!”

“I have dealt at greater length with space than it will be necessary to deal with time, for much that has been said in the former case as to perception and conception will directly apply to the latter. Space and time are so similar in character, that if space be termed the breadth, time may be termed the length of the field of perception. As space is one mode in which the perceptive faculty distinguishes objects, so time is a second mode. As space marks the coexistence of perceptions at an epoch of time — we measure the breadth of our field—so time marks the progression of perceptions at a position in space — we measure the length of our field. The combination of the two modes, or change of position with change of time, is motion, the fundamental manner in which phenomena are in conception presented to us.”
