Bila kita diberi waktu tak terbatas, tidak ada lagi yang istimewa. Tanpa kehilangan atau pengorbanan, kita tidak bisa menghargai apa yang kita punya.

Anak kecil jarang sekali meminta waktu diputar mundur. Kebanyakan mereka selalu tergesa-gesa. Mereka ingin bel sekolah lekas berbunyi. Hari ulang tahun cepat datang.

Waktu serasa terbang? Maksudnya.. waktu berlalu sangat cepat dan tahu-tahu kau sudah harus bilang 'selamat tingga' dan rasanya seolah-olah waktu tidak bergerak sama sekali.

Waktu Serasa Terbang Bersamamu

Sarah Lemon: Bisakah kau menggravirkan 'waktu serasa terbang bersamamu'?

Dor: Apa artinya itu?

Sarah Lemon: Apakah kedengarannya terlalu serius? Sejujurnya, kupikir.. kedengarannya bodoh, benar? --- Kupikir.. dia orang yang ditakdirkan untukku. Tapi aku tidak ingin terlalu berlebihan.

Dor: Kalimat tadi, apa artinya?

Sara Lemon: Waktu serasa terbang? Maksudnya.. waktu berlalu sangat cepat dan tahu-tahu kau sudah harus bilang 'selamat tingga' dan rasanya seolah-olah waktu tidak bergerak sama sekali.

Dor: Waktu serasa terbang..

Sarah Lemon: Bersamamu.

The Time Keeper

       Albom's fingers on the keyboard turn out golden prose, whether a column or a book. The Time Keeper is like a combination of precious metal. The story opens with Dor who lives four thousand years ago. Albom's explanation of Dor's thought processes in figuring out numbers and time is pure gold.

From the author who's inspired millions worldwide with books like "Tuesdays with Morrie" and "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" comes his most imaginative novel yet, "The Time Keeper"--a compelling fable about the first man on earth to count the hours. The man who became Father Time. In Mitch Albom's newest work of fiction, the inventor of the world's first clock is punished for trying to measure God's greatest gift. He is banished to a cave for centuries and forced to listen to the voices of all who come after him seeking more days, more years. Eventually, with his soul nearly broken, Father Time is granted his freedom, along with a magical hourglass and a mission: a chance to redeem himself by teaching two earthly people the true meaning of time. He returns to our world--now dominated by the hour-counting he so innocently began--and commences a journey with two unlikely partners: one a teenage girl who is about to give up on life, the other a wealthy old businessman who wants to live forever. To save himself, he must save them both. And stop the world to do so.

       Told in Albom's signature spare, evocative prose, this remarkably original tale will inspire readers everywhere to reconsider their own notions of time, how they spend it and how precious it truly is.

Well, this book will teach you to abandon your tight-schedule, a bit. This book is really going well for you who always wear watch. Can you ask no question about time all along the day? Can you let yourself to be free? Can you have no care for late? Read this and you can!

Cinta sulit dipercaya, tanyakan pada siapapun yang sedang jatuh cinta. Kehidupan ini juga sulit dipercaya, tanyakan pada ilmuwan manapun. Tuhan juga sulit dipercaya, tanyakan pada siapapun yang memercayainya. Kenapa Anda tidak menerima hal-hal yang sulit dipercaya?

Kalau begitu, apa gunanya punya akal, Richard Parker? Apakah sekadar untuk memenuhi kebutuhan sehari-hari --- mencari makanan, pakaian, dan atap untuk berteduh? Kenapa akal tak bisa memberikan jawaban-jawaban yang lebih kompleks? Kenapa kita bisa menanyakan hal yang tak ada jawabannya? Buat apa punya jala begitu besar kalau sedikit sekali ikan yang bisa ditangkap?
