About This Quote
They waited and watched, while the clocks seemed to resist time. This quote reflects the idea that everything is moving at once, but that our perception of time can be distorted. The clocks are moving together, but they are running at different speeds. That means that the people who are waiting for the clocks to move are actually seeing them move more slowly than they really are.
