Text Quotes
The past was irretrievable, the league of lonely men a fiction, the pursuit of the past a doomed attempt to run a hustle on mortality (The Past Quotes)
I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's were the fun is (The Past Quotes)
A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or regard that quality in its chosen leaders today - and in fact we have forgotten (The Past Quotes)
Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. and you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow (The Past Quotes)
Maester Luwin says there's nothing in dreams that a man need fear. there is, said Jojen. What? the past. The future. The truth (The Past Quotes)
Memory is not an instrument for exploring the past but it's theatre. It is the medium of past experience, as the ground is the medium in which dead cities lie interred (The Past Quotes)
I like today and perhaps a little future still, but the past is really something I'm not interested in. So, as far as I'm concerned, I like only the past of things and people I don't know. When I know, I don't care because I knew how it was (The Past Quotes)
The past is immortalized; that is to say, it is dead; and death is the root of all godliness and all abiding significance (The Past Quotes)
It is compassion, then, that is the best protection; it is also, as the great masters of the past have always known, the source of all healing (The Past Quotes)
The law of love and compassion for all living creatures is again a doctrine to which we are all too ready to pay slip service. However, if it is to become a reality, it requires a process of education, a veritable mental renaissance. Once it has become a reality, national as well as international problems will fall into perspectives and become easier to solve. Wars and conflicts, too, will then become a thing of the past, because wars begin in the minds of men, and in those minds love and compassion would have built the defenses of peace (The Past Quotes)
It’s not the future that you’re afraid of. It’s repeating the past that makes you anxious (The Past Quotes)
There had been certain romantic interludes in the past that had included galloping across the desert at night; but he had never abducted any woman whose enthusiastic support for such a plan had not been secured well in advance (The Past Quotes)
Of all earthly creatures, humans alone have the power to choose. One must never lose time in vainly regretting the past nor in complaining about the changes which cause us discomfort, for change is the very essence of life (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 (The Past Quotes)
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 (The Past Quotes)
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 (The Past Quotes)
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 (The Past Quotes)
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 (The Past Quotes)
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 (The Past Quotes)
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 (The Past Quotes)
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 (The Past Quotes)
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 (The Past Quotes)
Why should we look to the past in order to prepare for the future? Because there is nowhere else to look (The Past Quotes)
The consequences of today are determined by the actions of the past. To change your future, alter your decisions today (The Past Quotes)
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 (The Past Quotes)
Goal setting has traditionally been based on past performance. This practice has tended to perpetuate the sins of the past (The Past Quotes)
If you don’t have a vision for the future, then your future is threatened to be a repeat of the past (The Past Quotes)
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 (The Past Quotes)
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 (The Past Quotes)
Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future (The Past Quotes)
