Chronology Quotes

• Todos funcionamos con dos relojes. Uno es el reloj exterior, que marca nuestras décadas y nos lleva incesantemente a la estación seca. El otro es el reloj interior, en el que tú eres tu propio cronometrador y determinas tu propia cronología, tu propio clima interno y tu propio ritmo de vida. A veces, el reloj interior se agota mucho antes que el exterior, y vemos a un muerto que sigue viviendo.

  Max Lerner

• The way history is currently taught in schools, jumping from Hitler to the Henrys, is like a nightmare vision of Star Wars, where you have episode four before you have episode one. The sense of going on a journey, of chronology and continuity, is incredibly important to the imagination.

• Physicists now say there is no such thing as time: everything co-exists. Chronology is entirely artificial and essentially determined by emotion. Contiguity suggests layers of things, the past and present somehow coalescing or co-existing.

• Broader and deeper we must write our annals, from an ethical reformation, from an influx of the ever new, ever sanative conscience, if we would trulier express our central and wide-related nature, instead of this old chronology of selfishness and pride to which we have too long lent our eyes. Already that day exists for us, shines in on us at unawares, but the path of science and of letters is not the way into nature. The idiot, the Indian, the child, and unschooled farmer's boy, stand nearer to the light by which nature is to be read, than the dissector or the antiquary.

• No hay una temporada floja de 'Breaking Bad'. Sólo hay un trabajo superior, un sprint hacia el mal que se convirtió en maratón. Pero como todas las grandes series que traen su pesada carga para un aterrizaje duro y observado sin aliento, "Breaking Bad" no se dejó suficiente margen para terminar satisfactoriamente algunas de sus mejores líneas argumentales, especialmente una vez que la brecha cronológica se cerró entre los flashforwards de los episodios del año pasado y la conclusión del domingo por la noche. Se podría argumentar fácilmente que quedaba demasiado por hacer en este episodio.
