"The hands of every clock are shears, trimming us away scrap by scrap, and every time piece with a digital readout blinks us towards implosion"

This quote by Dean Koontz is an effective reminder of the fleeting nature of life. The hands of a clock resemble shears, slowly removing at our lives, bit by bit. Whenever piece with a digital readout is a tip of the ever-ticking clock, and how quickly time passes. We are all slowly being pressed towards our own implosion, as time marches on and our lives concern an end. This quote serves as a tip to make the most of our time, and to value the moments we have. Life is precious and should be valued, as it can be removed from us in an immediate. We must aim to make the most of our time, and to live life to the maximum.
