Jay Griffiths
British Author
Clearly, many branches of science need an exquisite precision of timekeeping and the infinitesimal decimals of calibration, so space launches, for example, are not scheduled for leap-second dates. But society as a whole neither needs that obsessive time measurement nor is well served by it.

British Author
Time is found in the calibration of the individual to the timing of a collective endeavour, the social grace that less clock-bound societies must practise.
Quote examples
Joel Coen
American Director
We don't have any rules about how we depict violence, or how much violence is in a movie. It's a calibration on a case-by-case basis.
