From ''The Order of Time'' by Carlo Rovelli (2019)
 
<blockquote>The notion of 'now'&mdash;a present that is common to the whole universe&mdash;is an illusion, a subjectives extrapolation of our experience.</blockquote>
 
<blockquote>We are stories, contained within the twenty complicated centimeters behind our eyes, lines drawn by traces left by the (re)processing of the images of our memory.</blockquote>
 
<blockquote>The 'passing' of time is internal to us, an aspect of our way of seeing the world, not a property of the world itself.</blockquote>
