Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠all we have (to give), and thus 'in giving all one's time, one gives all or the all'.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠dislocated and disjointed, yet not as 'a time whose joinings are negated, broken, mistreated, dysfunctional, disadjusted, according to a dys of negative opposition and dialectical disjunction, but a time without certain joining or determinable conjunction.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠not a thing, it is not part of temporality so, even our experience of time as a succession of temporal presents is already an annulment of time.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠not the absolute form but rather the absolute non-form... genealogy attempts to make us forget the form of the present in order to remember the 'non-place'.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠not the aristotelian measure of movement or the augustinian psychological extension, but rather the passing away without trace and without expectation of reciprocation.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠without being and is never simply present. It is neither an object nor a given. Yet we can apprehend time only through what it is not, namely, the objects that fill its form.
