““Time is a strange thing, Jitterbug. On one hand, time is free, yet on the other, it’s priceless. You never really own it, but you can do anything you want with it. You’re not allowed to save any of it up, but you can spend it. And once you’ve lost it, you ain’t never gonna get it back. Of all the gifts on God’s green earth, time is the thing we long for the most, yet—somehow or other—it always ends up being the thing we use the worst.””
