About This Quote

The saying “We often don't realize the passing of years until we see them in a child” expresses the fact that most of us don't think about the passing of time until we are confronted with it in another person. When another child reaches adulthood, for example, we are often startled to realize that the person is our “child” no longer. And, when that happens to us, we can really grasp the idea of time passing.
