"Time exists in order that everything doesn't happen all at once ... and space exists so that it doesn't all happen to you."

This was an inspirational article. Thanks for sharing the clip.

Thank I've been admirer of Ms. Sontag's writing for many years, so I thank you Djiezes for finding this last gem of hers.

No problem, I'm as thankful as you are.

I really loved the quote above. She follows up with:

By this standard, the novel is an ideal vehicle both of space and of time. The novel shows us time: that is, everything doesn't happen at once. (It is a sequence, it is a line.) It shows us space: that is, what happens doesn't happen to one person only.
