Mordecai

Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and sculptor

- Alexis Carrel

 

Doing nothing can often be the wisest choice, although strangely, often the most difficult.

- Arngeir

 

Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can't. You know the month, the year, and 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. Man 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.
