Quote by Clifford D. Simak

And time itself? Time was a never-ending medium that stretched into the future and the past - except there was no future and no past, but an infinite number of brackets, extending either way, each bracket enclosing its single phase of the Universe.

And time itself? Time was a never-ending medium that stretch

Summary

This quote portrays time as a continuous entity with no distinct future or past, but rather an infinite sequence of brackets containing specific phases of the universe. It suggests that time is not linear, but rather exists as intertwined and enclosed moments, stretching both forward and backward endlessly. It challenges the conventional understanding of time's progression and emphasizes the concept of a never-ending cycle rather than a fixed timeline.

Why were the saints, saints? Because they were cheerful when it was difficult to be cheerful, patient when it was difficult to be patient; and because they pushed on when they wanted to stand still, and kept silent when they wanted to talk, and were agreeable when they wanted to be disagreeable. That was all. It was quite simple and always will be.
