Present And Future Quotes

“We live in the present with knowledge that the past is alive in us – our history speaks to us. The future represents an idea or expectations that influence our present state of mind.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“—Los pensamientos son reales —sentenció—. las palabras son reales. Todo lo humano es real, y aveces conocemos las cosas antes de que ocurran, aun cuando no seamos consientes de ello. Vivimos en el presente, pero el futuro está siempre en nosotros. Puede que el escribir se reduzca a eso, Sid. No a consignar los hechos del pasado, sino a hacer que ocurran cosas en el futuro.”
― Paul Auster, Oracle Night

“The manifold of the past, present, and the future all form a single vivacious composition that only exists in the mind’s eye as separate isolated stages in a forward spooling continuum of space-time. Eternity and time are distinct qualities. Eternity is a dimension of time, an aspect framed by thinking and action. We exist in the present; we live in the element of time referred to as the here and now. We experience life in the eternity that bookends our life force. I need to realize my separate identity in eternity and at the same time actively cogitate upon my indivisible participation in the interwoven continuum of space-time.”

“We walk from darkness to light,
From light back to darkness again,

“Jo ho chuka hai vo ho chuka hai
Jo boten hai vahi paten hai
Fir kyun bite pal pe pachhtaten hai
Jo bo rahe hai vahi payenge
Fir kyun aane bale pal se ghabrayenge
Fir kyun nahi jo pana hai vahi boten hai
Bite pal ki chinta ko chhodate hai
Aane bale pal ko Aaj ke pal se sjate hai
Jo ho chuka hai uspe muskurate hai
Jo ho raha hai uske sath chal padte hai”
― Arya vidhan

“Live in the moment—not just for the future moment.”
― Debasish Mridha

“Only the passage of time ultimately separates each generation. Our humanity remains stalwartly impervious to political manipulations and to the social, culture and economic tidings that each generation must etch out a living. Our sense of time past, present and future is the common denominator that each generation shares because time refuses to standstill for mere human beings. Time cannot be ignored or shunted, but must be respected for the indomitable power that its relentless pressure applies upon each of us. The unyielding power of time sneers at each of us regardless of our race, religion, creed, nationality, gender, age, or sexual orientation. Potency of time is irreducible, it is irreversible, and it is inerasable. Through the periscope of memory, we can dice snippets of time’s atoms into infinitesimal pictures of mere moments; we can harness select prized memories to build a molecular mind’s magical playhouse. The capacity of the human mind for memory enables people to preserve, retain, and subsequently recall knowledge, information, and experience. Replaying snapshots of the past enables us to comprehend the magnitude of the present and take account of the inevitability of our future.”

“LIFE IS LIKE RIDING A TRICYCLE. TO KEEP THE FUTURE IN HARMONY WITH THE PAST AND THE PRESENT, ONE SHOULD KEEP FIGHTING FOR PEACE”
― J. Nedumaan

“NO PAST CAN MAKE YOUR FUTURE AND NO FUTURE CAN MAKE YOUR PRESENT”
― J. Nedumaan

“There's more ahead than there is behind. Don't let that math reverse on you, Ruth says ominously. (p64)”

“Usually the wedding that wasn't is an off-limits topic for me, but the damn Canyon Ranch counselor told me that I will never fully move forward to the future I deserve until I am able to claim the whole event as an important part of my past.
Ouch. (p47)”
― Stacey Ballis, Wedding Girl
