Ken Kesey Quotes

Yeah, yeah, yeah, time travel's a nightmare. Don't go down that path.

There is the past, and there is the future. The present is never more than the single second dividing one from the other. We live poised on that second as it's hurtling forward-toward what?

I'm unstuck in time. Also, I juggle like mad and have made myself efficient.

In Einstein's equation, time is a river. It speeds up, meanders, and slows down. The new wrinkle is that it can have whirlpools and fork into two rivers. So, if the river of time can be bent into a pretzel, create whirlpools and fork into two rivers, then time travel cannot be ruled out.

Time is not a line but a dimension, like the dimensions of space. If you can bend space you can bend time also, and if you knew enough and could move faster than light you could travel backwards in time and exist in two places at once.

Time travel offends our sense of cause and effect - but maybe the universe doesn't insist on cause and effect.

The magical, supernatural force that is with us every second is time. We can't even comprehend it. It's such an illusion, it's such a strange thing.

We are all time travelers moving at the speed of exactly 60 minutes per hour.

Live both in the future and the past. Who does not live in the past does not live in the future.

One of my favorites is "Time and Again" by Jack Finney. It takes place in Manhattan and goes back and forth between 1882 and the 1950s. It's really a cult book.

I spent a week there one afternoon.

Our bodies are the time machine.

You're trying to figure out a way to go back in time and spend more time with your father. Who wouldn't want to do that?

All things are delicately interconnected.

Whether you can go back in time is held in the grip of the law of quantum gravity. We are several decades away from a definitive understanding, 20 or 30 years, but it could be sooner than that.

It's all now you see: tomorrow began yesterday and yesterday won't be over until tomorrow.

It's like time travel only, you know, slower.

Life is full of little surprises. Time travel is full of big ones.

Infinity: Time on an ego trip.

No matter how rich you are, you cannot transport yourself to the future or the past.

The future is foretold from the past and the future is only possible because of the past. Without past and future, the present is partial. All time is eternally present and so all time is ours. There is no sense in forgetting and every sense in dreaming. Thus the present is made rich.

Lesson one in time travel, Thursday. First of all, we are all time travellers. The vast majority of us manage only one day per day.
