i m late to class again.
Running into the room i hear an announcement of the ‘pillow test.'
“Today you will either sleep or take the test. But sooner or later you will have to take the test.”
Presently, the bell rings + everyone leaves as a new group of students queue up to file in - some wanting the test, others wanting pillows. -jahh / Script
Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do. -Jean-Paul Sartre
Repartee is something we think of twenty-four hours too late. -Mark Twain
love this post - hmmm...i think the one thing that took me longest to learn to say was not "i don't know" but "NO" - and i'm STILL working on that!!!
ReplyDeleteI am thinking there is never the right time *sigh* Always too early or too late!
ReplyDelete'Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do'-Jean-Paul Sartre
So true. Lets do away with time!
the pillow test! oh i do love this!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know! And it is now 3:07...i think it is time to think about what's for dinner...if i'm not too late.
ReplyDeleteSome memorable quotes. So many times the take on this week's theme comes back to the confluence of too early and too late. Happy TT
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes! Totally enjoyed this! Happy TT!
ReplyDeleteI love the concept of the pillow test. And the Twain quote. I always feel that way.

ReplyDelete"Being late is really just being early for the next time"-otin hehe

happy tt!
Otin- What a relief!
ReplyDeleteI love all the quotes but the Maugham quote is my favorite. TY
ReplyDeleteWonderful quotes! And so true!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, I have ALWAYS shared the sentiment of 3 being too late OR too early to embark on the next thing!
ReplyDeleteI am right there with Mr. Twain. Too often.
ReplyDeleteI'm just wondering if that ice cream cone qualifies for the 3-second rule... or is it too late?
ReplyDeleteJeffScape... I always thought it was the 30 second rule. ???
ReplyDeleteNoooooooo! Only 3! Some cultures allow 5, but a lot can happen in 2 seconds!
ReplyDeleteThat's just great... I've been living a lie!
ReplyDeleteAhhh Jean Paul is making a big impression today! Loved the visit...even if it was a little late...but then again is it ever too late to read a post or post a post?
ReplyDelete'No' is a good thing to say.
ReplyDeletesuch a great post on time, i could never find ways to deal with it - and i suppose this is why i have settled on trying to freeze it in pictures :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the Maugham quote.
ReplyDeleteThe "pillow test", I that love too.
