About This Quote
John O'Hara wrote in "The World According to Garp," "Time is, in fact, a cross to bear, it passes on inexorably and remorselessly, destroying everything in its wake, save art and works of the intellect." Believing that time is always against us can be a source of great pain. So can believing that life is forever changing with no possibility of reaching the end of the line.
