Quote by Robert Frost

Time and tide wait for no man, but time always stands still for a woman of 30.

Time and tide wait for no man, but time always stands still

Summary

This quote plays on the idea that time is constantly moving forward and waits for no one. However, it suggests that when a woman reaches the age of 30, time seems to pause or stand still for her, implying that this age is a significant milestone in her life. The quote may allude to societal expectations and the pressure women face to achieve certain milestones by a certain age. It also portrays the notion that turning 30 may bring about reflection, self-assessment, and a sense of stagnation or rebirth for a woman.
