Time is an illusion of life the life of the past and the future clouds men from the true life of the present.

About This Quote

The idea that time is an illusion is a common saying. It implies that time is not an entity that one can actually touch or feel. While we tend to think of time as a real thing, we know we can’t really touch it. We know we can’t run it down like a clock and we know we can’t hold onto it like a book.

However, we still experience and measure time and we still use it to plan our lives and work out our schedules. We do this because we need to be able to plan for the future and get the most out of the present. We need to know when to get up or go to bed so that we don’t oversleep or miss important events.
