Quote by Francis Bacon

Life, an age to the miserable, and a moment to the happy.


Life, an age to the miserable, and a moment to the happy.

Summary

This quote speaks to the stark contrast between subjective experience of time. For those who are miserable and suffering, each day may feel incredibly long and arduous, stretching out like an entire lifetime. On the contrary, for those who are happy and content, time seems to fly by, with moments and experiences passing in the blink of an eye. It suggests that our perception of time is deeply influenced by our emotional state and the quality of our life experiences.
