You know nothing of my inner world, and yet you presume to judge that world  (Aldous Huxley Quotes) These are the sort of things people ought to look at.

One hundred and twenty minutes. Anything might be done in that time. Anything. Nothing. Oh, he had had hundreds of hours, and what had he done with them? Wasted them, spilt the precious minutes as though his reservoir were inexhaustible  (Aldous Huxley Quotes) The gods are just. No doubt.
