"It was typical of the gap between them, he thought. Here she was trying to stretch his meger days, while he was planning for another century." #TheTimeKeeper

"He thought again about the picket watch, how perfectly it had fit in his palm. He was surprised at how energized he was from the purchase, even though it was another thing he couldn't tell Grace about." #TheTimeKeeper

"Dor noticed Victor's expression -- his eyebrows furrowed, his lips pulled down at the sides. Although a diseased man might be frightened -- or even grateful -- this one seemed angry. Or a better word. Inpatient." #TheTimeKeeper

"I heard you ask for something when you were a child. Then, as now, you wanted time." #TheTimeKeeper

"Please make it yesterday, when Papa came home." Young Victor #TheTimeKeeper

"We all yearn for what we have lost. But sometimes, we forget what we have." Dor #TheTimeKeeper

"She thought for the first time about killing herself, the when and the how. She already had the why." #TheTimeKeeper

"Dor thought about his own children. He wondered if they'd ever become this unhappy, wanting to give up on the 🌎. He hoped not. But then, hadn't he wished his own life would end many times?" #TheTimeKeeper

"Just tell me. When does it stop hurting?" Sarah Lemon #TheTimeKeeper

"You marked the minutes. But did you use them wisely? To be still? To cherish? To be grateful? To lift and be lifted?" #TheTimeKeeper

"Only God can write the end of your story." #TheTimeKeeper

"Time. It seemed to be running too fast for everyone but him." #TheTimeKeeper

"He did not understand the purpose of this slow torture...Mostly he cursed the fact that while other men would die and meet their fate, he, apparently, was going to live forever." #TheTimeKeeper

"Dor was broken. Not aging is not the same as living, and without human contact, his soul dried up." #TheTimeKeeper

"It was how life worked between them now. They live together but apart." #TheTimeKeeper

"However cranky or distant he got, she was determined to make the little time they had left more like the start of their life together, and less like the vast, joyless middle." #TheTimeKeeper

"It is never too late or too soon. It is when it is supposed to be." #TheTimeKeeper

"There are as many expressions with 'time' as there are minutes in a day. But once, there was no word for it at all. Because no one was counting. Then Dor began. And everything changed." #TheTimeKeeper

"I will not forget our childhood. But we will not see each other again." Nim #TheTimeKeeper

"If one were recording history, one might write that at the moment man invented the world's first clock, his wife was alone, softly crying, while he was consumed by the count." #TheTimeKeeper
