Quote by Pliny the Elder

The happier the moment the shorter.

The happier the moment the shorter.

Summary

This quote suggests that moments of happiness seem to go by more quickly compared to moments of suffering or sadness. It implies that our perception of time is influenced by our emotional state. When we are happy, we are fully engaged in the moment and time seems to fly by. However, in challenging times, we may become more sensitive to each passing second, making it feel longer. Ultimately, this quote highlights the fleeting nature of happiness and the subjective nature of our experience of time.
