“if nothing else around it changes, heat cannot pass from a cold body to a hot one......This is the only basic law of physics that distinguishes the past from the future.”
― Carlo Rovelli, L'ordine del tempo

“Past and future are different from each other. Cause precedes effect. Pain comes after a wound, not before it. The glass shatters into a thousand pieces, and the pieces do not re-form into a glass. We cannot change the past; we can have regrets, remorse, memories. The future instead is uncertainty, desire, anxiety, open space, destiny, perhaps. We can live toward it, shape it, because it does not yet exist. Everything is still possible... Time is not a line with two equal directions: it is an arrow with different extremities.”
― Carlo Rovelli, L'ordine del tempo

“Three words, large enough to tip the world. I remember you.”
