Jonathan Carroll Quotes

Time does not always pass at the same speed. We are the ones who determine that speed.

I can't talk you in terms of time --your time and my time are different

it doesn't take long to stay an hour.

As you get older what you think was 10 years ago was actually 15 years ago.

The passage of time is simply an illusion created by our brains.

Time is not an absolute reality but an aspect of our consciousness.

Is that all time is - our perception of how quickly it does or does not pass?

What time is it? It is by every star a different time, and each most falsely true.

Two seconds are a thousand years.

Because time isn't something that always proceeds at the same pace. It is we who determine how quickly time passes.

A moment was not a single moment at all, but rather an infinite number of different moments, depending on who was seeing things and how.

Five minutes are enough to dream a whole life, that is how relative time is.

Why is it that weeks and months and years go by so quickly, all in a blur, but moments last forever?

Time has only a relative existence.

The slowness of time, for a man who knows nothing will happen, is brutal.

Time is a funny thing. I was always puzzled with the way a single day could stretch itself out to the point of eternity in your mind, all while years melted down into the fraction of a second.

The more you've got, the shorter it feels.

The most notable thing about Time is that it is so purely relative. A large amount of reminiscence is, by common consent, conceded to the drowning man; and it is not past belief that one may review an entire courtship while removing one's gloves.

Time can also be a place.... Everything depends on where you are standing, on where you look or what you hear. The measure of it is found in consciousness itself.

Time was a funny and fickle thing. Sometimes there was never enough of it, and other times it stretched out endlessly.

Our subjective experience of time is highly variable. We all know that days can pass like weeks and months can feel like years, and that the opposite can be just as true: A month or year can zoom by in what feels like no time at all.

Time narrows or expands according to how we approach it. It varies with a man’s breadth, with his heart.

One's relationship to time is complicated, and sometimes a day will drag on forever and sometimes it'll be over in a flash. When you look back, "I'm old," after 40 or 60 years, I can't believe I'm as old as I am.

The moment seemed endless, but it was probably only half that.

But what minutes! Count them by sensation, and not by calendars, and each moment is a day.
