John Fowles Time Quotations

The supposed great misery of our century is the lack of time.

One degrades oneself sometimes in the effort not to be lonely.

The supposed great misery of our century is the lack of time; our sense of that, not a disinterested love of science, and certainly not wisdom, is why we devote such a huge proportion of the ingenuity and income of our societies to finding faster ways of doing things - as if the final aim of mankind was to grow closer not to a perfect humanity, but to a perfect lightning-flash.

We can sometimes recognize the looks of a century ago on a modern face; but never those of a century to come.

There comes a time in each life like a point of fulcrum. At that time you must accept yourself. It is not any more what you will become. It is what you are and always will be.

Time is not a road - it is a room.
