“How you use your time determines how fast it goes.”
“And then of course, there’s Milo. Who never knows what to do with himself – not just sometimes, but always. Wherever he is, he wants to be somewhere else – and when he gets there, so what. Everything is too much trouble or a waste of time.”
“Seems like a long time when you’re waiting for something to happen, doesn’t it? …time can pass very slowly or very fast, and sometimes even both at once. …Time is important, but it’s what you do with it that makes it so.”
