The hours wear on, while the surreal atmosphere of the asylum does not wear off.

About This Quote

The hours wear on, while the surreal atmosphere of the asylum does not wear off. The surreal atmosphere of the asylum is a metaphor for how one's mind can become so clouded and disoriented that it is impossible to think clearly. This is a reference to the fact that, as we age, we often find ourselves struggling to recall small details from our past, such as where we were or what we did at a particular time.
