About This Quote
Time is a player. Time is part of today, not simply a measure of its passing. This is a very powerful quote. It was written by Mark Twain and it perfectly captures the fact of the world that we live in. Although we may think of life as a single long day that we live through, we cannot overlook the fact that we live in a world where time is constantly moving and where things change quickly and frequently.
