"A hundredth of a second here, a hundredth of a second there - even if you put them end to end, they still only add up to one, two, perhaps three seconds, snatched from eternity"

This quote by Robert Doisneau speaks to the concept of the fleeting nature of time. He suggests that even if we were to take a hundredth of a 2nd from here and a hundredth of a 2nd from there, and put them together, they would still just amount to a couple of seconds. This emphasizes how little and unimportant these minutes are in the grand plan of eternity. It is a reminder that time is precious and need to not be considered granted. We ought to strive to maximize the time we have, as it is limited and can easily escape. Doisneau's quote is a tip to value the minutes we have, no matter how small they might appear.
