I've never been very solipsistic--whenever someone has suggested that maybe the world was entirely a construction of my mind, I couldn't help wondering why my mind wouldn't have constructed it to be really awesome.

The word "time" split its husk; poured its riches over him; and from his lips fell like shells, like shavings from a plane, without his making them, hard, white, imperishable words, and flew to attach themselves to their places in an ode to Time; an immortal ode to Time.
—Virginia Woolf, Mrs Dalloway
