Suppose time is a circle, bending back on itself. The world repeats itself, precisely, endlessly (Alan Lightman Quotes)
The target of power is more interesting than its quantity (Alan Lightman Quotes)
Each time is true, but the truths are not the same (Alan Lightman Quotes)
What sense is there in continuing when one has seen the future? (Alan Lightman Quotes)
A world with one month is a world of equality (Alan Lightman Quotes)

While people brood, time skips ahead without looking back (Alan Lightman Quotes)
Imagine a world in which there is no time. Only images (Alan Lightman Quotes)
The urge to discover, to invent, to know the unknown, seems so deeply human that we cannot imagine our history without it (Alan Lightman Quotes)
Scientists will forever have to live with the fact that their product is, in the end, impersonal (Alan Lightman Quotes)
Oh, love is very much a physical thing... I realize that it’s very complicated, and I’m sure it can’t be traced to individual neurons and hormones, but I think it’s very much a physiological sensation that takes place in the brain (Alan Lightman Quotes)
You’ve made something grand, but it will be grander if it has feeling and beauty and harmony (Alan Lightman Quotes)
As I understand it, a universe is a... well, a totality. A universe is everything that is, as far as the inside of the thing (Alan Lightman Quotes)
As human beings, don’t we need questions without answers as well as questions with answers, questions that we might someday answer and questions that we can never answer? (Alan Lightman Quotes)
I would think that you are more fluent with the rational. It has its appeal. But the irrational permits a greater exercise of... shall we say, power (Alan Lightman Quotes)
It’s not necessarily a large number of people that affect the culture. You don’t count the number of influential voices, you weigh them. A hundred people can affect the culture (Alan Lightman Quotes)
For it is only habit and memory that dulls the physical passion. Without memory, each night is the first night, each morning is the first morning, each kiss and touch are the first (Alan Lightman Quotes)
In a world in which time is a circle, every handshake, every kiss, every birth, every word, will be repeated precisely (Alan Lightman Quotes)
One cannot walk down an avenue, converse with a friend, enter a building, browse beneath the sandstone arches of an old arcade without meeting an instrument of time. Time is visible in all places. Clock towers, wristwatches, church bells divide years into months, months into days, days into hours, hours into seconds, each increment of time marching after the other in perfect succession. And beyond any particular clock, a vast scaffold of time, stretching across the universe, lays down the law of time equally for all (Alan Lightman Quotes)
Time is a rigid, bonelike structure, extending infinitely ahead and behind, fossilizing the future as well as the past (Alan Lightman Quotes)
In a world of fixed future, life is an infinite corridor of rooms, one room lit at each moment, the next room dark but prepared. We walk from room to room, look into the room that is lit, the present moment, then walk on. We do not know the rooms ahead, but we know we cannot change them. We are spectators of our lives (Alan Lightman Quotes)
Some make light of decisions, arguing that all possible decisions will occur. In such a world, how could one be responsible for his actions? Others hold that each decision must be considered and committed to, that without commitment there is chaos. Such people are content to live in contradictory worlds, so long as they know the reason for each (Alan Lightman Quotes)
It is a world of impulse. It is a world of sincerity. It is a world in which every word spoken speaks just to that moment, every glance given has only one meaning, each touch has no past or no future, each kiss is a kiss of immediacy (Alan Lightman Quotes)
Who would fare better in this world of fitful time? Those who have seen the future and live only one life? Or those who have not seen the future and wait to live life? Or those who deny the future and live two lives? (Alan Lightman Quotes)
In this world, time has three dimensions, like space. Just as an object may move in three perpendicular directions, corresponding to horizontal, vertical, and longitudinal, so an object may participate in three perpendicular futures. Each future moves in a different direction of time. Each future is real. At every point of decision, the world splits into three worlds, each with the same people, but different fates for those people. In time, there are an infinity of worlds (Alan Lightman Quotes)
A person who cannot imagine the future is a person who cannot contemplate the results of his actions. Some are thus paralyzed into inaction (Alan Lightman Quotes)
