How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #10
"Each moment- each diamond- is like a snapshot."
"A snapshot of what?"
"Of everything, everywhere! There's not time in a picture, right? It's the jumping, from one diamond to the next, that we call time, but like I said, time doesn't really exist. Like that girl just said, a diamond is a moment, and all the diamonds on the ring are happening at the same time. It's like having a drawer full of pictures." (31.41-43)
Marcus explains that time is a snapshot. He adds that "you always were there, you always will be there" (31.45). Why is this comment significant coming from Marcus?
Quote #11
Common sense is just a name for the way we're used to thinking.
Time travel is possible.
You came to save Sal. And finally- finally!- I understood.
Dick Clark never ages. I thought of what Marcus had said about going to the movies in my time machine, that if I didn't leave until I was sixty-two, the ticket guy wouldn't recognize me. (51.10-12)
The weirdly ageless Dick Clark inspires a revelation: Miranda realizes that time travel is possible because everything is indeed happening at once. Why is it important that Miranda has a new way of seeing things?
