Ask a child to draw a car, and certainly he will draw it red. - Enzo Ferrari

Emotions, in my experience, aren't covered by single words.

I don't believe in "sadness," "joy," or "regret.

Maybe the best proof that the language is patriarchal is that it oversimplifies feeling.

I'd like to have at my disposal complicated hybrid emotions, Germanic train-car constructions like, say, "the happiness that attends disaster.

Or: "the disappointment of sleeping with one's fantasy.

I'd like to show how "intimations of mortality brought on by aging family members" connects with "the hatred of mirrors that begins in middle age.

I'd like to have a word for "the sadness inspired by failing restaurants" as well as for "the excitement of getting a room with a minibar.

I've never had the right words to describe my life, and now that I've entered my story, I need them more than ever.

Middlesex, Jeffrey Eugenides

Try to imagine a life without timekeeping.

You probably cant.

You know the month, the year, the day of the week.

There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car.

You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie.

Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored.

Birds are not late.

A dog does not check its watch.

Deer do not fret over passing birthdays.

an alone measures time.

Man alone chimes the hour.

And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures.

A fear of time running out.

The Time Keeper, Mitch Albom
