Famous quotes containing the word time:
“Almost one half of our time is spent in telling and hearing evil of one another ... and every hour brings forth something strange and terrible to fill up our discourse and our astonishment.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“It is my opinion that time brings all things to fruition; by time all things are made plain; time is the father of truth.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
“Humanity has passed through a long history of one-sidedness and of a social condition that has always contained the potential of destruction, despite its creative achievements in technology. The great project of our time must be to open the other eye: to see all-sidedly and wholly, to heal and transcend the cleavage between humanity and nature that came with early wisdom.”
—Murray Bookchin (b. 1941)
