"I could only be happy in a world where the sense of time did not exist. My country offered this advantage. The churches there did not have, and probably still do not have, clocks. Finally, people did not know the time—at least in the countryside. Measuring time—it is certain that this is an attack not only against time itself, but also against man. As soon as something is analyzed, it is profaned. The mind is a profaner par excellence; it leaves nothing as it is, neither time nor the soul. There is no happiness except in the unreflecting gaze."
