“The inner dimension and the hidden time have already been discovered.”
— Compton Gage

“Staring and staring into the mirror, it sees many faces within its face – the face of the child, the boy, the young man, the not-so-young man – all present still, preserved like fossils on superimposed layers, and, like fossils, dead. Their message to this live dying creature is: Look at us – we have died – what is there to be afraid of?It answers them: But that happened so gradually, so easily. I’m afraid of being rushed.”
— Christopher Isherwood

“Society is commonly too cheap. We meet at very short intervals not having had time to acquire any new value for each other. We meet at meals three times a day and give each other a new taste of that old musty cheese that we are.”
— Henry David Thoreau
