Summary

This quote by Virginia Woolf emphasizes that what truly ages and impacts us is not the grand tragic events in life like disasters or illnesses, but rather the subtle and mundane experiences of human interactions. Woolf suggests that it is the way people observe, engage, and interact with the world around them, such as their facial expressions, laughter, and daily actions like running up the steps into a bus, that ultimately shape and affect us. Our encounters with others and the simple moments of life are what truly impact our well-being and perception of time passing.
