Time moves slowly, but passes quickly.

Alice Walker

There is so little time for us all, I need to be able to say what I want quickly and to as many people as possible. Time passes so slowly if you are unaware of it and so quickly if you are aware of it.

Marc Bolan

Time passes so slowly if you are unaware of it and so quickly if you are aware of it.

Marc Bolan

Time, Baby - so much, so much time left until the end of my life - sometimes I go crazy at how slowly time passes yet how quickly my body ages. But I shouldn't allow myself to think like this. I have to remind myself that time only frightens me when I think of having to spend it alone. Sometimes I scare myself with how many of my thoughts revolve around making me feel better about sleeping alone in a room.

Douglas Coupland

All life passes like a fast flowing river and how strange to see that happiness increases this speed! Yes, a happy life passes faster!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

Love passes quickly, and passes like a street Arab, anxious to mark his way with mischief.

Honore de Balzac

It doesn't matter, that's the point. It doesn't matter that things don't always work exactly the way you thought they should. Moments matter. People matter, how they feel, how they connect. Who they are alone and together. All that matters, no matter how quickly the moment passes. Maybe because it passes.

Nora Roberts

The Lord's Prayer may be committed to memory quickly, but it is slowly learnt by heart.

Frederick Denison Maurice

we who determine how quickly time passes.

Paulo Coelho

O how quickly passes away the glory of the earth.

Thomas a Kempis

How quickly passes away the glory of this world.

Thomas a Kempis

You might get up in the morning and do your devotions and say a few prayers and there you go. You think you've done your connecting for the day. But you don't know how to wait before the Lord and really stop and hear from the Lord or dig deeper and walk throughout the day with the Lord. It's like sending a quick Tweet or checking your Facebook page real quick. "Hey Lord, what's going on?" But you're missing the intimacy of, "Be still and know that I am God."

Jeremy Camp

Oh, how quickly the world's glory passes away.

Thomas a Kempis

Every day is still exciting. I have like a very good system worked out with my editor. Some directors are in there every day, sitting there in the room with the editor. I lose perspective incredibly quickly, and so what I do is I watch...I come in the room and give very specific notes and then I go back to my house or in my office and I watch the dailies.

Nicholas Stoller

Ah when will this long weary day have end, And lend me leave to come unto my love? How slowly do the hours their numbers spend! How slowly does sad Time his feathers move!
