Free yourself a bit from the boundaries of human time

If you free yourself from the conventional reaction to a quantity like a million years, you free yourself a bit from the boundaries of human time. And then in a way you do not live at all, but in another way you live forever.

 

John McPhee, Annals of the Former World (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2000) p. 91
