Summary

This quote humorously points out that when we lose track of time or waste time, we tend to find it in unexpected moments, typically when we stop searching. It suggests that time slips away from us without our conscious awareness and that we often realize this only when we are no longer actively seeking to locate it. The phrase also implies that time is a precious resource that should be cherished and used wisely, as once it is wasted, it cannot be recovered.
