“¨One who travels the fastest travels alone, but the one that travels the furthest travels with others.¨ -Vsauce-2017 Vsauce Michel here.”
Vsauce

“We live after the conquering of time, but before its resurrection. In the meantime, make some time for time to control you. Be bored, miss out, fall behind, feel time passing, lose track of time, while experiencing only what your body can alone. You might not have the time of your life, but you'll have more time of your life”
Michael Stevens, Illusions of Time
