Murray Walker Quotes

I didn't see the time, largely because there wasn't one.

He was there or was not there: not there if I didn't see him.

What you sees, is what you gets.

Nothing has existence unless you, I, or some living creature perceives it, and how it is perceived further influences that reality. Even time itself is not exempted from biocentrism.

The hardest thing to see is what is in front of your eyes.

Every white man seemed to have a great concern about time. We enjoyed time, they measured it…. Hours, minutes, and seconds were such small divisions of time that we never thought of them.

Light knows when you're looking at it.

Digital clocks took the 'space' out of time.

They say you have to live in a place to know it, but you have to come fresh tae really see it.

There are two kinds of clocks. There is the clock that is always wrong, and that knows it is wrong, and glories in it; and there is the clock that is always right - except when you rely upon it, and then it is more wrong than you would think a clock could be in a civilized country.

Would there be trees if we didn't see them?

I did not write half of what I saw, for I knew I would not be believed

And for to see, and eek for to be seie.

Of the Surface of Things In my room, the world is beyond my understanding; But when I walk I see that it consists of three or four Hills and a cloud.

Nobody really lives in the present.
