Time plays like an accordion in the way it can stretch out and compress itself in a thousand melodic ways. Months on end may pass blindingly in a quick series of chords, open-shut, together-apart; and then a single melancholy week may seem like a year's pining, one long unfolding note. Julia Glass
About This Quote

Time plays like an accordion in the way it can stretch out and compress itself in a thousand melodic ways. However, there are many other ways time can compress itself. A day can feel long or short because of other things going on around it. A year may feel long or short because you have so many opportunities to do so many other things!
