Amor Quote by Haruki Murakami
““Timpul poate curge inegal. In sine, el e constant, dar poate sa isi piarda fluditatea si sa se distorsioneze cumplit. Uneori e teribil de greoi si de lent, alteori usor si rapid. Cateodata evenimentele isi schimba cronologia sau chiar dispar cu desavarsire. Alteori apar unele care nici n-ar trebui sa existe. Manevrand astfel timpul dupa bunul lor plac, oamenii ajusteaza semnificatia pe care o atribuie propriei lor existente. Cu alte cuvinte, ei reusesc sa-si apere cumva sanatatea mintala. Daca ar fi nevoiti sa-l perceapa in mod uniform si in ordinea corecta in care acesta se scurge, mai mult ca sigur ca ar ceda nervos. O astfel de viata ar fi tortura curata.””
About This Quote

Time can flow unevenly; it is constant yet can lose fluidity, becoming distorted, slow, or fast, affecting events and mental health. People manipulate time perception to protect sanity, but uniform, orderly time would be torturous.
In simple terms: Time is uneven and can be distorted, affecting life and mental health.
