It is only in appearance that time is a river. It is rather a vast landscape and it is the eye of the beholder that moves.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The river of time may fork into rivers, in which case you have a parallel reality and so then you can become a time traveler and not have to worry about causing a time paradox.
In the past, when I shot films about fishermen and hunters, I always had to admire their ability to perceive time in its entirety. The present was always temporary.
In antihistory, time is an illusion.
Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.
I like that time is marked by each sunrise and sunset whether or not you actually see it.
Time is an illusion. Time only exists when we think about the past and the future. Time doesn't exist in the present here and now.
Time puts things in proper perspective.
Time is water, and the Venetians conquered both by building a city on water, and framed time with their canals. Or tamed time. Or fenced it in. Or caged it.
Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.
In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time.
