Time, time, time

Time is that quality of nature which keeps events from happening all at once. Lately it doesn't seem to be working.

I like this. It's funny, and also true. The first part of it I think is the literal purpose of the invention of time.
And the second also seems to have some truth to it... it seems that nearing the end of the universe, time seems to be speeding up and even be messed up, maybe because of interference patterns due to reflections from the event horizon of the End.
