Quote by Haruki Murakami

Time expands, then contracts, all in tune with the stirrings of the heart.

Time expands, then contracts, all in tune with the stirrings

Summary

This quote suggests that our perception of time is subjective and influenced by our emotions. When we are engaged and excited, time seems to stretch out, as we are fully present in the moment. Conversely, during moments of sadness or boredom, time may feel like it's passing slowly. The quote implies that the ebb and flow of our heart's desires and emotions can warp our perception of time, making it flexible and responsive to our inner states.

Start with a blank surface. It doesn't have to be paper or canvas, but I feel it should be white. We call it white because we need a word, but its true name is nothing. Black is the absence of light, but white is the absence of memory, the color of can't remember.
