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.

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.
