Willow Smith Quotes

Time narrows or expands according to how we approach it. It varies with a man’s breadth, with his heart.

One's relationship to time is complicated, and sometimes a day will drag on forever and sometimes it'll be over in a flash. When you look back, "I'm old," after 40 or 60 years, I can't believe I'm as old as I am.

Time does not always pass at the same speed. We are the ones who determine that speed.

I think time is elastic. There are moments in my life that are many, many years ago and yet I can conjure them as though it's a second ago. And there are other things that happened maybe last week that seem like ages ago.

Philosophers, comedians, and tipsy birthday celebrants all have proposed theories about why time seems to move increasingly swiftly as we grow older. But the most disconcerting rationale is not a theory. It is the undeniable realization that every day we live constitutes a smaller percentage of the accrued experience with which we awaken each morning, and therefore seems proportionately a smidgen quicker and smaller than the day before.

But what minutes! Count them by sensation, and not by calendars, and each moment is a day.

Because time isn't something that always proceeds at the same pace. It is we who determine how quickly time passes.

Time is measured by the quality and not the quanity of sensations it contains.

When people say to me don't the years go fast I have to be honest and say that whereas I don't realise where they go in the long term, I pack so much into a year it seems to take forever.

People always say life is short. I've never been convinced of that - mine seems to have a tendency to go on and on.

I think I have a strange relationship with time. I'm not really aware of that time passing. I don't feel that I'm wasteful with time. But I'm not aware of it passing.

Our subjective experience of time is highly variable. We all know that days can pass like weeks and months can feel like years, and that the opposite can be just as true: A month or year can zoom by in what feels like no time at all.

Time is not an absolute reality but an aspect of our consciousness.

Time is an illusion anyway. You can create as much time as you want.

I can't talk you in terms of time --your time and my time are different

Time really is one big continuous cloth, no? We habitually cut out pieces of time to fit us, so we tend to fool ourselves into thinking that time is our size, but it really goes on and on.

I'm very interested in stopping time. And starting time. There is that aspect of time that I'm playing with, that it's elusive and unnoticed yet really in the end the most important thing.

Is that all time is - our perception of how quickly it does or does not pass?

Time expands, then contracts, all in tune with the stirrings of the heart.

I've only been gone a week," I reminded him. Well, a week's a long time. It's seven days. Which is one hundred and sixty-eight hours. Which is ten thousand, eighty minutes. Which is six hundred thousand, for hundred seconds.

(I measure time by how a body sways.)

Time is a fluid condition which has no existence except in the momentary avatars of individual people. There is no such thing as was - only is.

Time, as is well known, sometimes flies like a bird and sometimes crawls like a worm, but human beings are generally particularly happy when they don't notice whether it's passing quickly or slowly.

Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.
