But life. It rushes by and then you think you'll see people... You think you'll do things and have time for this and time for that... And there is never time. This is what I have learned, Anna, I have learned that there is never as much time as you think there is. -(Ottmar) Miranda Emmerson
About This Quote

This quote is to remind us that life is short and we must take advantage of every moment. The movie "Life" starring Kevin Spacey tells a very similar story. In this movie, the main character, played by Kevin Spacey, has a dream to travel the world. He imagines that by the time he's forty, he'll have seen every corner of the world.

He also sees his younger self in some of his dreams. His younger self tells him that there will be more to life than travel, but his older self refuses to listen. When he is older, he realizes that what he thought would be amazing was really not all that special after all.
