— from Time

In the book

Time alone is finite; it is the one resource you can only ever spend. And because it can never be bought back, its scarcity is the very thing that makes it precious — it is valuable precisely because there is never enough of it. Remember what we said about death — if you could remove the ending, you would remove all scarcity, and remove scarcity and you remove the ability to tell what is precious from what is worthless. — Time
