“Refuse to waste time trying to convince yourself that you don't have time, when you could be using that time to actually 'do' it.”
― Oli Anderson, Personal Revolutions: A Short Course in Realness

“An entire year has passed. Time is important. This I know now. As in, how much time has to pass for a forgetting to occur.”
― Jenny Tinghui Zhang, Four Treasures of the Sky

“We may have been
flawless then—
but look at us now.
Look how we shine.
Look at the map we've
made in these fractures—
in all the places where
the world got its hands
on us.”
― Jenny Noble Anderson, But Still She Flies: Poems and Paintings

“But she feared time itself... the dwindling of life; how year by year her share was sliced; how, little the margin that remained was capable any longer of stretching, of absorbing, as in the youthful years, the colours, salts, tones of existence, so that she filled the room she entered, and felt often as she stood hesitating one moment on the threshold of her drawing-room, an exquisite suspense, such as might stay a diver before plunging while the sea darkens and brightens beneath him, and the waves which threaten to break, but only gently split their surface, roll and conceal and encrust as they just turn over the weeds with pearl.”
― Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway
