Somehow everything always came down to time, she realized with perfect lucidity. There was either too much or too little. It either passed too quickly or too slowly. It didn’t belong to anyone–it was simply a gift, bestowed by God, and yet eternally taken for granted. She closed her eyes for a moment, wishing Time could be tamed–reigned in–and tethered, synchronized with human needs and wants. But that wasn’t the case, was it? . R. W. Patterson
About This Quote

Time always moves forward. Every day we live, we live in the present and we cannot change the past. Therefore, we can only live in the moment and enjoy what is right in front of our eyes. The past matters but we can never change it and we should not wish for things to be different. We should look forward and enjoy the present moment.
