The Past Quotes

We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations Picture Quote #1

No reflection was to be allowed now, not one glance was to be cast back; not even one forward. Not one thought was to be given either to the past or the future. The first was a page so heavenly sweet, so deadly sad, that to read one line of it would dissolve my courage and break down my energy. The last was an awful blank, something like then world when the deluge was gone by Picture Quote #1

Sitting on the floor, I’d replay the past in my head. Funny, that’s all I did, day after day after day for half a year, and I never tired of it. What I’d been through seemed so vast, with so many facets. Vast, but real, very real, which was why the experience persisted in towering before me, like a monument lit up at night. And the thing was, it was a monument to me Picture Quote #1

She’d cried over a broken heart before. She knew what that felt like, and it didn’t feel like this. Her heart felt not so much broken as just... empty. It felt like she was an outline empty in the middle. The outline cried senselessly for the absent middle. The past cried for the present that was nothing Picture Quote #1

We lay on the ground and kissed. Perhaps you smile. That we only lay on the ground and kissed. You young people can lend your bodies now, play with them, give them as we could not. But remember that you have paid a price: that of a world rich in mystery and delicate emotion. It is not only species of animal that die out. But whole species of feeling. And if you are wise you will never pity the past for what it did not know. But pity yourself for what it did Picture Quote #1

Spiritually, no action is more important than surrender. Surrender is the tenderest impulse of the heart, acting out of love to give whatever the beloved wants. Surrender is being alert to exactly what is happening now, not imposing expectations from the past. Surrender is faith that the power of love can accomplish anything, even when you cannot foresee the outcome of a situation Picture Quote #1

Every second you spend thinking about what you don’t want in your life is a second denying focus and energy from getting what you do want. Every minute you worry about what’s not working is a minute drawn away from creating what will work. And every hour spent reflecting on the disappointments of the past is an hour stolen from seeing the possibilities that your future holds Picture Quote #1

No individual and no generation has had enough personal experience to ignore the vast experience of the human race that is called history. Yet most of our schools and colleges today pay little attention to history. And many of our current policies repeat mistakes that were made, time and again, in the past with disastrous results Picture Quote #1

For the past 32 years, I’ve done nothing outside the entertainment business. I’ve had some real highs and some real lows, but I love the work so much that I never once thought of quitting Picture Quote #1

Why should we look to the past in order to prepare for the future? Because there is nowhere else to look Picture Quote #1

The consequences of today are determined by the actions of the past. To change your future, alter your decisions today Picture Quote #1

But every person has to learn to accept what has happened in the past. Without bitterness. Or there is no point in continuing with life Picture Quote #1

Goal setting has traditionally been based on past performance. This practice has tended to perpetuate the sins of the past Picture Quote #1

If you don’t have a vision for the future, then your future is threatened to be a repeat of the past Picture Quote #1

Consciousness is observing your thoughts and actions so that you can live from true choice in the present moment rather than being run by programming from the past Picture Quote #1

I began to feel that the drama of the truth that is in the moment and in the past is richer and more interesting than the drama of Hollywood movies. So I began looking at documentary films Picture Quote #1

The sad and guilty dwell the past. The worried and fearful obsess the future. The angry, catalyzed by what has passed, threaten what shall come to pass. Behold the noise outside our present Picture Quote #1

I’ve said it in the past and I’ll say it again today: the vote is precious; it’s almost sacred Picture Quote #1

Leave the past behind, or it can destroy your future. Live life for what tomorrow has to offer, not for what yesterday has taken away Picture Quote #1

Salute the past and give thanks for the lessons and experience it gave. Welcome the future and be ready for new challenges Picture Quote #1

Although memories are lovely to have, they just make you miss the past and wish things were different Picture Quote #1
