A hundredth of a second here, a hundredth of a second there -- even if you put them end to end, they still only add up to one, two, perhaps three seconds, snatched from eternity.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the fleeting nature of small increments of time. It suggests that even though we may perceive insignificant moments as inconsequential, when added together, they can still account for a few seconds. However, in the grand scheme of eternity, these seconds are minuscule and easily "snatched away." The quote reminds us to appreciate the value of each passing moment and be mindful of how we allocate our time.
