Nina Simone:
[on the radio introducing her song 'Who knows where the time goes'] Sometime in your life you will have the occasion to say, what is this thing called time? You know, what is that - the clock. You go to work by the clock, you get your martini in the afternoon by the clock, you have your coffee by the clock, get on a plane at certain time and arrive, and it goes on and on and on... And time is a dictator, as we know it. Where does it go? What does it do? Most of all, is it alive? It is a thing you cannot touch, and is alive. And then one day you look in the mirror - how old. You say, where did time go?
