It's a reflection of her fascination with the nature of time and human perception. At this point in her life, Loy was grappling with the aftermath of World War I, which had left Europe scarred and searching for new ways to understand the world.\n\n**The Hidden Insight**\nOn the surface, the quote appears to be about seizing moments that transcend the constraints of linear time. However, upon closer inspection, it reveals a profound tension between the desire for permanence and the inevitability of change. Loy is suggesting that our conventional understanding of time as a one-way flow is limiting, and that we should instead explore the possibility of creating enduring experiences by momentarily disrupting this flow.\n\n**How to Use This**\nTo apply this mindset in your own life, try to identify moments where you can \"cut across Time\" by reorienting your focus towards the present. Instead of getting caught up in planning for a future goal or dwelling on past regrets, aim to stay immersed in the current experience, allowing it to unfold and potentially become an \"indefinite\" duration that stretches out before you.",{"id":44,"quote_text":45,"author_id":5,"source_id":25,"has_image":26,"author":46,"source":47,"quote_tag":48,"commentary":9},3294828,"If you want to realize yourselves all your pet illusions must be unmasked.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":50,"quote_text":51,"author_id":5,"source_id":25,"has_image":26,"author":52,"source":53,"quote_tag":54,"commentary":9},3294818,"The feminist movement as at present instituted is Inadequate.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":56,"quote_text":57,"author_id":5,"source_id":25,"has_image":26,"author":58,"source":59,"quote_tag":60,"commentary":9},3294805,"The flux of life is pouring its aesthetic aspect into your eyes, your ears – and you ignore it because you are looking for your canons of beauty in some sort of frame or glass case or tradition.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":62,"quote_text":63,"author_id":5,"source_id":25,"has_image":26,"author":64,"source":65,"quote_tag":66,"commentary":9},3294799,"LOVE of others is the appreciation of one’s self.
