― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

“And along with indifference to space, there was an even more complete indifference to time. "There seems to be plenty of it", was all I would answer when the investigator asked me to say what I felt about time. Plenty of it, but exactly how much was entirely irrelevant. I could, of course, have looked at my watch but my watch I knew was in another universe. My actual experience had been, was still, of an indefinite duration. Or alternatively, of a perpetual present made up of one continually changing apocalypse.”
― Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception & Heaven and Hell

“The urge to transcend self-conscious selfhood is, as I have said, a principal appetite of the soul.”
― Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception
