― Ernestine Gilbreth Carey, Belles on Their Toes
Sometimes it doesn't matter that there was any time before this time. Sometimes it doesn't matter that it's night or day or now or then. Sometimes where you are is enough. It's not that time stops or that it hasn't started. This is time. You are here. This caught moment opening into a lifetime.
― Jeanette Winterson, The Gap of Time
