Summary

This quote suggests that much of our originality as individuals comes from the way time shapes and influences our perception and sensitivity. It implies that the experiences we encounter throughout our lives, the passage of time, and the resulting transformation of our thoughts and feelings, are fundamental factors in shaping our unique perspectives and ideas. Our individuality and creativity are thus deeply interconnected with the influence of time, as it leaves its mark on our sensibilities.
