Nothing makes time pass or shortens the way like a thought that absorbs in itself all the faculties of the one who is thinking. External existence is then like a sleep of which this thought is the dream. Under its influence, time has no more measure, space has no more distance. Alexandre Dumas
About This Quote

This quote was written by the French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal. He’s known for saying that time is a form of perception, and it has no objective reality outside of our minds. According to Pascal, we perceive time as a series of moments that pass in succession. But, he added, if we try to think about time we find ourselves spending all our time thinking about how we perceive time and not about anything else.
