When considering a man's motives, remember you must not measure his wheat with your bushel. He may not be using the same standard at all.
Robin Hobb...To free humanity of time. For time is the great enslaver of us all. Time that ages us, time that limits us. Think how often you have wished to have more time for something, or wished you could go back a day and do something differently. When humanity is freed of time, old wrongs can be corrected before they are done.
