Quote

Hello chaps,

I've had a quote going around in my head for days. I've asked all my friends where it's from but none of them seem to know. A google search turns up nothing.

The quote goes something like:

'But if you don't take the time, how can you ever have the time?'

I imagine in in Agent Smith's voice, but I'm pretty sure it's not him. Why would it be? It's in the middle or at the end of quite a long monologue, I think.

Any thoughts? I figured that with such a collection of oddballs (and I use the term affectionately) one of you must know. Help please, it's driving me mad.

It's alright... I know.

It was Aristotle. Barnes.

Aristotle Barnes.

I should have known. Typical Barnes.

I thought it was Toulouse-Lautrec's half brother "No Time" Toulouse.

Was he related to the fella who said "I've got the time, if you've got the inclination."?

Or his sister, who had a figure like an hourglass ... if only he had the time.

Or the other sister who lit up the room every time she walked in... becuase she had a figure like a lightbulb.

A slight inclination of the cranium is as efficacious as a voluntary transient monocular closure to a vespertilionine mammal devoid of visual capacity.

The Faces?
