Quote by Medard Boss

A watch can only tell us how much time it is, how much time has passed, or how much time must still pass before something will occur. These statements are related not to time itself but only to its measurement or calculation.

A watch can only tell us how much time it is, how much time

Summary

This quote highlights the limitations of a watch in relation to time. A watch can provide information about the current time, the duration that has passed, or how much time is left for a future event. However, it emphasizes that these attributes are merely measures and calculations that pertain to time, rather than delving into the essence or nature of time itself. In essence, the quote suggests that a watch can only assist us in quantifying time, rather than comprehending its deeper meaning or significance.
