Once you've lost it you can never get it back.” This is my favorite quote because it´s said/written in a philosophical way, so it made me think about time in many different ways.

SlettAlbert einstein was a physicist and a genious. He invented the relativity theory, linking time and space together. Albert Einstein's quote is a wise philosofical quote.

Slett"If you don`t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?" This quote is written by John Wooden. John Wooden was an american coach and basketball player. He was born in 1910 and died 2010.
SvarSlettI liked this quote, because I agree with it. If something needs to be done right, but you don`t take your time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over? Because if something is wrong constructed it will break. Then it`s better to do it right the first time.

Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
SvarSlett-Marthe Troly-Curtin
Marthe Troly-Curtin was a feamous author og the Phrynette Novels. She was born in 1884, but no one nows when she died. I liked this quote because I fully agrees in what she says. It is inportant to be so agree as possible in what se says.
The quote I chose is written by George Harrison, and it goes like this: "It`s being there that`s important. There`s no past and there`s no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can`t relieve it and we can hope for the future, but we don`t know if there is one."
SvarSlettThe reason why I chose this quote as my favourite is because I feel like it describes todays society extremely well. No one lives in the precent, and it`s all about tomorrow, which we (according to Harrison) "don`t know if there is one".
George Harrison was a british musician and movie producer, born in 1943 and dead in 2001. He was a member of "The Beatles" where he wrote a few songs all by himself. Most of the albums "The Beatles" gave out, usually included at least one Harrison composition. Katarina 9D
I prefer the quote written by Albert Einstein, and it goes like this: "Time is an illusion". Albert Einstein was a german theoretical physicist. He is well know for his knowledge and his development of the theory of relativity. Today, we may see him as one of the smartest people who have ever lived. I prefer this quote because it makes me ruminate. The quote tells you that time is nothing, but it is there. There is no scientific explenation of time. You cannot touch it or grab it, you cannot feel time, but yet it is still there. Time is everything, yet, it does not excist.
SvarSlettMy favourite quote is “Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time” by Marthe Troly-Curtin.
SvarSlettThis is my favorite quote because I totally agree with what she says. The time you "waste" on things which makes you happy, is not wasted time at all. But rather for example memories of good times with your friends or family.
Marthe was born in 1884 and her date of death is unknown. She is also well known for being an author and the Phyrnette Novels.
"Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin." - Mother Teresa.
SvarSlettMother Teresa was a nun, and lived most of her life in India. She has won a Nobel peace prize and is known for her charity work, as well as her quotes.
This is my favorite quote because, I think it is important to focus on the present, not the past or future. Furthermore, its only today you can make a difference.
Kristin S 9c
I chose the quote by Albert Einstein, "Time is an illusion". I like the quote because it makes a good point. It might sound stupid, but in fact the quote speaks the unpopular truth.
SvarSlettAlbert Einstein was a German-American theoretical physicist known for his scientific philosophy and scientific accomplishments. Einstein won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921, and he was behind the Theory of Relativity.
Marthe Troly-Curtin’s most famous quote is: Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
SvarSlettMarthe Troly-Curtin is known for being the author behind Phrynette novels.
I like her quote because I think what she is trying to say is that you should be only yourself to decide. Someone want to use their “free-time” to watch movies, someone wants to practice, and someone wants to read. We are all different and others cannot decide what wasted time is for other people.
Haakon 9D
Nicholas Sparks was an American novelist, screenwriter and a producer. He has published seventeen novels and a non-fiction book.
SvarSlettI like the quote “ There are moments when I wish I could roll back the clock and take all the sadness away, but I have the feeling that if I did, the joy would be gone as well”, because I think that you have to go trough the hard times and the sadness to appreciate the good times. You always learn something from a mistake or something bad, and then you can move on and be happy you learned something new.
Sofia Bernhardt 9c
"Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time" is the quote I chose.
SvarSlettThis is written by Marthe Troly-Curtin. She is the author of the Phrynette novels, in the magazine Lippincott's Monthly Magazine it was described as "The Most Talked-About Book in London Today" in June 1911. But a lot of people know her better as the author of the quote (the same quote is written over^^)
The reason I like this quote is because in my opinion it presents time in the right way, in that it time is coming and not going. So its what you do with the time that matters and not what you don't do. So when you do thing you like its time well spent, even though its not always productive.
"Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time"
SvarSlett-Marthe Troly-Curtin
I like this qoute because it tells us that we need to live in the present and do the things we want to do.
Marthe is an author, and her most famous book is "Phrynette married".
-Joachim 9D
"There are moments when I wish I could roll back the clock and take all the sandness away, but I have the feeling that if I did, the joy would be gone as well."- is my favourite quote. Written by Nicholas Sparks a 49 year old screenwriter, novelist and producer from America. The quote is taken from the book "A walk to remember" written in October 1999 by Nicholas.
SvarSlettThis is my favourite quote because of the way it describes that you can't have anything good without anything bad. I can relate to the feeling Nicholas Sparks give, regretting things in the past or being sad about the past,, but knowing that I wouldn't change the past because the outcome ended better then I ever would have expected. There will always be a positive side and a negative side, if you take away the negative side there won't be a positve side.
