Quote by Robert Doisneau

A hundredth of a second here, a hundredth of a second there -- even if you put them end to end, they still only add up to one, two, perhaps three seconds, snatched from eternity.

A hundredth of a second here, a hundredth of a second there

Summary

This quote emphasizes the fleeting nature of small increments of time. It suggests that even though we may perceive insignificant moments as inconsequential, when added together, they can still account for a few seconds. However, in the grand scheme of eternity, these seconds are minuscule and easily "snatched away." The quote reminds us to appreciate the value of each passing moment and be mindful of how we allocate our time.

Like a man travelling in foggy weather, those at some distance before him on the road he sees wrapped up in the fog, as well as those behind him, and also the people in the fields on each side, but near him all appears clear, though in truth he is as much in the fog as any of them.
