About This Quote

Time is a kind of fluid, it comes and goes as it pleases. Just as you can't see time, you also can't see where time has gone. We don't know how long it will be until we die, or who will live after we do. There may be 1 billion people on this planet right now, but there may be a billion billion after we're all gone. Time is a strange and mysterious thing.
