In the Western tradition, time is linear, an arrow flying remorselessly from A to B. It is a finite, and therefore precious, resource. Christianity

In driving, as in life, one way is to do less, since a busy schedule is a prime cause of speeding. Another is to learn to feel comfortable with slowness.

When you accelerate things that should not be accelerated, when you forget how to slow down, there is a price to pay.

Perhaps the greatest challenge of the Slow movement will be to fix our neurotic relationship with time itself.

every living being, event, process or object has its own inherent time or pace, its own tempo giusto.

In the absence of accurate clocks, life was dictated by what sociologists call Natural Time. People did things when it felt right, not when a wristwatch told them to.

When everyone takes the fast option, the advantage of going fast vanishes, forcing us to go faster still.

“Being Slow means that you control the rhythms of your own life. You decide how fast you have to go in any given context. If today I want to go fast, I go fast; if tomorrow I want to go slow, I go slow. What we are fighting for is the right to determine our own tempos.”
