Jorge Luis Borges:

Time is the substance I am made of. Time is a river that carries me away, but I am the river; it is a tiger that mangles me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.

Stefany Anne Golberg:

There is a little arrogance in every clock. Clocks count time, but they also seize time, control it, put its power into the hands of people.

Mary Meeker and Liang Wu:

In the US in 2012, 42% of time spent in media was spent watching TV. In China, the figure is 26%.

Tyler Cohen, on the future:

The good jobs will be about branding. They're all about figuring out how to get other people's attention ...

Drew Herdener, a spokesman for Amazon:

This is a big win for customers and, frankly, it's about time.

Richard Friedman:

It's simple: if you want time to slow down, become a student again. Learn something that requires sustained effort; do something novel. Put down the thriller when you're sitting on the beach and break out a book on evolutionary theory or Spanish for beginners or a how-to book on something you've always wanted to do. Take a new route to work; vacation at an unknown spot. And take your sweet time about it.

Tom Bissell:

The GTA games, despite their mayhem, can be highly tedious, with nothing in particular happening over long periods of time. One mission in GTA V involves driving your family to therapy. In another, you mop a floor. What other game allows you to screw up while mopping? What other game even has mopping?
