Time is a corporate asset now. It belongs to the free market system. The present is harder to find... The future becomes insistent.
Don DeLilloWhen I read obituaries I always note the age of the deceased. Automatically I relate this figure to my own age. Four years to go, I think. Nine more years. Two years and I'm dead. The power of numbers is never more evident than when we use them to speculate on the time of our dying.
