 Time, that bastard we have ridiculously tried to trap first in hourglasses, sundials, clocks, and who knows what else, is in no hurry and has the innate ability to camouflage itself in the gray folds of days too similar to one another.

 For a mountain lover like me, Buzzati is an extremely fascinating figure; writing, reading, and going hiking are three of the things I appreciate most.
