About This Quote
The world is too fast, too busy. It's not that we don't have time, it's that we don't have enough of it. To see a flower - or to appreciate someone - takes time. Like to have a friend, or love someone.
These things are difficult to find and they take time. We don't have enough time to enjoy what we see and experience.
