Jeanette WintersonWhat are you that makes me feel thus? Who are you for whom time has no meaning?
About This Quote
When you are in love, time can be meaningless. It is just a pause in the action. There is no time for thinking about the future because you are so busy with the present. You live for this moment and you live completely in the moment.
When you are in love, everything becomes so important because it is your one shot at happiness. Time does not matter because there is no other person on earth that can take your place.
