Summary

This quote by Albert Einstein is a playful explanation of the concept of relativity. It conveys how our perception of time can vary based on our experiences and emotions. When we enjoy something, time seems to pass quickly, as represented by sitting with a pretty girl. Whereas a minute of discomfort, symbolized by sitting on a hot stove, can feel incredibly long. Einstein's remark highlights the subjective nature of time and illustrates how our perception of its passage is influenced by our circumstances and mindset.

As the end of the century approaches, all our culture is like the culture of flies at the beginning of winter.

They give themselves a last wash and brush-up, their oscillated eyes roll, and they fall down the curtains.
