I think you might be recalling a line from Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex (sometimes translated as Oedipus Tyrannus). There’s a passage where the Chorus addresses Oedipus near the end, saying something close to:
“Time, which sees all, has found you out against your will.”
Different translations render it slightly differently, but the idea is that time reveals the truth, no matter how much one tries to hide or avoid it.
Would you like me to track down the exact wording in several modern translations so you can compare how it’s usually phrased?

If your eyesight is good enough, you can even see our nearest large galaxy
Andromeda. Light reaching us today from Andromeda started 2.5 millionyears ago when our earliest human ancestors, Homo habilis, were foraging
around in the temperate zone of eastern Africa
