“Fiecare dintre noi a inteles, probabil, atunci ca nu exista "mai tarziu". Ca tot ce nu traim ramane netrait. Eu, oricum, aveam gust de cenusa in gura. A fost prima oara cand am simtit ca orice amanare e o iluzie si o moarte. Ca a tergiversa e o forma de a muri.”
― Octavian Paler, Viața ca o coridă

“Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. an alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.”
― Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper
