time machine

Overview

From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0).

• “There is no difference between Time and any of the three dimensions of Space except that our consciousness moves along it.”

• “Are you so sure we can move freely in Space? Right and left we can go, backward and forward freely enough, and men always have done so. I admit we move freely in two dimensions. But now about up and down? Gravitation limits us there.”

• “Long ago I had a vague inkling of a machine... That shall travel indifferently in any direction of Space and Time, as the driver determines.”

• “We are kept keen on the grindstone of pain and necessity and, it seemed to me, that here was that hateful grindstone broken at last.”

• “I was too restless to watch long; I am too Occidental for a long vigil. I could work at a problem for years, but to wait inactive for twenty-four hours—that is another matter.”

• “In a moment I knew what had happened. I had slept, and my fire had gone out, and the cold bitterness of death had come over my soul.”
