timepiececlockThe words "All the world--and time" were used in The Time Traveler's Wife, and I've been googling for like 10 minutes trying to find the origin of that quote. I think it was from a poem, somewhere. I know I've heard it.
So far, the most I could find was that it was the title of an old Star Trek episode. I know it's from something earlier than that.
EDIT: It helps if you get the quote right. :D What I should have been looking for was "world enough, and time", which is in the first line of Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress":
Had we but World enough, and Time,
This coyness, Lady, were no crime.
We would sit down and think which way
To walk, and pass our long Loves Day.
