The time at our disposal each day is elastic; the passions we feel dilate it, those that inspire us shrink it, and habit fills it.

The time at our disposal each day is elastic; the passions we feel dilate it, those that inspire us shrink it, and habit fills it.

我们每天支配的时间是有弹性的;我们所感受到的激情使它膨胀，那些激励我们的激情使它收缩，习惯使它充满。

-- Marcel Proust 马塞尔·普鲁斯特
