» (...) Já fiz as contas e tenho a certeza de que já passei mais horas da minha vida a dançar do que a dormir. Sonho mais quando danço do que quando durmo. Quando danço, tudo parece um sonho mas, como tenho dores, sei que é real. (...) »
"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. 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."
