“The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.”
(Douglas Adams, “The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time”)

“…that served to time”
“…A tale begun in other days,
When summer suns were glowing –
A simple chime, that served to time
The rhythm of your rowing –
Whose echoes live in memory yet,
Though envious years would say “forget.”
(Lewis Carroll, “Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There”)
