Quotes:
« Dan: Time… you can't see it, you can hear it, you can't weigh it, you can't… measure it in a laboratory. It is a subjective sense of… becoming, what we… are, in stead of what we were a nanosecond ago, becoming what we will be in another nanosecond. The whole piece of time's a landscape existing, we form behind us and we move, we move through it… slice by slice.

« Linda Murphy: Clocks measure time.
»
« Dan: No, they measure themselves, the objective referee of a clock is another clock.
»
« Edith: All very interesting, but what has it got to do with John?
»
« Dan: He, he might be man who… lives… outside of time as we know it.
»
« Harry: Edith, I was raised on the Torah, my wife on the Qu'Ran, my eldest son is an Atheist, my youngest is a scientologist, my daughter is studying Hinduism, I imagine there is room there for a holy war in my living room, but we practice live and let live.
