Quote by Stephen King

Time, Eddie had decided during this period, was in large part created by external events. When a lot of interesting shit was happening, time seemed to go by fast. If you got stuck with nothing but the usual boring shit, it slowed down. And when everything stopped happening, time apparently quit altogether. Just packed up and went to Coney Island. Weird but true.

Summary

In this quote, Eddie reflects on the subjective nature of time. He observes that when exciting and engaging events occur, time appears to pass quickly. Conversely, periods marked by monotonous routines seem to drag on. Furthermore, when there is an absence of significant events, time seems to come to a standstill. Eddie's observation suggests that the perception of time is influenced by the quality and quantity of external experiences, reinforcing the notion that time is not an absolute constant but rather a malleable and unpredictable phenomenon.

But I believe this: by and large, the United States ought to be able to choose for its President anybody that it wants, regardless of the number of terms he has served. That is what I believe.

I have got the utmost faith in the long-term common sense of the American people. Therefore, I dont think there should be any inhibitions other than those that were in the 35-year age limit and so on. I think that was enough, myself.

Hardly a man in the world has an opinion upon morals, politics or religion which he got otherwise than through his associations and sympathies. Broadly speaking, there are none but corn-pone opinions. And broadly speaking, Corn-Pone stands for Self-Approval. Self-approval is acquired mainly from the approval of other people. The result is Conformity.
