Yesterday This Day's Madness did prepare;
Tomorrow's Silence, Triumph or Despair:
Drink! for you know not whence you came, nor why:
Drink! for you know not why you go, nor where.
Tim Drake, nine years later (Teen Titans #50-54) — Titans Tomorrow*. "If time travel is at all possible, then the only conclusion one can draw is that the sad state of the world today is nothing more than an unsatisfactory Mexican standoff between all the different past and future factions who want to alter it for either the better or the worse."
METATEMPORAL NARRATION*:
Saboteurs will experience bizarre phenomena such as gradually acquiring memories and features from the replacement Time Line. The process in a reverting history technically takes place over metatime, not over time, but this way of narrating it is far easier.

The Primary Universe is fraught with great peril.
War, plague, famine and natural disaster are common.
Death comes to us all.
The Fourth Dimension of Time is a stable construct,
though it is not impenetrable.
Incidents when the fabric of the fourth dimension
becomes corrupted are incredibly rare.

"Rosalind Brodsky suffers from delusions, particularly in relation to fantasies of time travel."



(There's no future in time travel.)
