Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.

The quote emphasizes humanity's unique relationship with time, suggesting that humans have the capacity to measure and keep track of time like no other species. This ability not only influences how individuals organize their lives but also instills a profound awareness of mortality and the finite nature of existence. Unlike other creatures, humans live with the constant reminder of time’s passage, which can be both an enlightening and burdensome experience.
