It's hard to believe. Where does the times go?' Betty sighs. 'I've always hated that phrase. It makes it would like time went on a holiday, and is expected back any day now. Time flies is another one I hate. Apparently, time does quite a bit of traveling, though.Gabrielle Zevin
About This Quote
It’s hard to believe. Where does the times go? The times goes where it wants to. It has no respect for people and their feelings. Time flies is a phrase that I hate with a passion.
I don’t know why, but people can say these words and not feel bad about themselves. It makes me feel like time will come back and get me one day when I’m not expecting it.
