Time engraves our faces with all the tears we have not shed.

Summary

This quote suggests that the passage of time leaves its mark on us, not only in physical changes but also in emotional ones. The tears we restrain or hold back over the course of our lives can accumulate and imprint themselves in our facial expressions, deepening lines and wrinkles. It implies that the unexpressed sorrow, pain, or sadness we carry within can eventually manifest itself on the surface, serving as a reminder of the emotions we have not allowed ourselves to fully experience or release.
