Quotes:

“The time-sweepers are present wherever time is being lost or wasted. There are always several in train stations, and at least one in every doctors surgery.” -Ursula Wills-Jones, The Time-Sweepers

“Cleaning up in a large office full of staggering tedium, the time-sweeper will pass straight by the desk of the woman who is reading a holiday catalogue under the desk, poring over photos of tropical beaches.” -Ursula Wills-Jones, The Time-Sweepers

“The most toxic and poisoned time—the residues of failed peace negotiations, wrongful imprisonments and truly poisonous marriages, is skimmed off and buried in a tank underneath a disused army base.” -Ursula Wills-Jones, The Time-Sweepers
