Life Quote by Mitch Albom
““Everything man does today to be efficient, to fill the hour?" Dor said. "It does not satisfy. It only makes him hungry to do more. Man wants to own his existence. But no one owns time." He lowered his hand from Victor's eyes. "When you are measuring time, you are not living it. I know.””
