Text Quotes
In the present age, alas! our pens are ravished by unlettered authors and unmannered critics, that make a havoc rather than a building, a wilderness rather than a garden. But, a lack! what boots it to drop tears upon the preterit? (The Present Quotes)
.. if you dread tomorrow, it’s because you don’t know how to build the present, you tell yourself you can deal with it tomorrow, and it’s a lost cause anyway because tomorrow always ends up becoming today, don’t you see? (The Present Quotes)
I’m a century old, an impossible age, and my brain has no anchor in the present. Instead it drifts, nearly always to the same shore. Today, as most days, it is 1962. The year I discovered love (The Present Quotes)
I identify myself in language, but only by losing myself in it like an object. What is realised in my history is not the past definite of what was, since it is no more, or even the present perfect of what has been in what I am, but the future anterior of what I shall have been for what I am in the process of becoming (The Present Quotes)
The function off the historian is neither to love the past nor to emancipate himself from the past, but to master and understand it as the key to the understanding of the present (The Present Quotes)
For eternally and always there is only one now, one and the same now; the present is the only thing that has no end (The Present Quotes)
Every writer must reconcile, as best he may, the conflicting claims of consistency and variety, of rigour in detail and elegance in the whole. The present author humbly confesses that, to him, geometry is nothing at all, if not a branch of art (The Present Quotes)
Something to remember on your birthday.. Forget the past, it can’t be changed.. And, forget the present because I didn’t get you one (The Present Quotes)
You live in the present and you eliminate things that don’t matter. You don’t carry the burden of the past. I’m not impressed by the past very much. The past bores me, to tell you the truth; it really bores me. I don’t remember many movies and certainly not my own (The Present Quotes)
Filmmaking isn’t if you can just strap on a camera onto an actor, and steadicam, and point it at their face, and follow them through the movie, that is not what moviemaking is, that is not what it’s about. It’s not just about getting a performance. It’s also about the psychology of the cinematic moment, and the psychology of the presentation of that, of that window (The Present Quotes)
For me it is the direct contact of artist to material which is original, and it is the earth and his contact to it which will free him of the artificiality of the present and his dependence on industrial products (The Present Quotes)
It is safest to grasp the concept of the postmodern as an attempt to think the present historically in an age that has forgotten how to think historically in the first place (The Present Quotes)
The best thing about the past is that it’s over. The best thing about the future is that it’s yet to come. The best thing about the present is that it’s here now (The Present Quotes)
Introverts are collectors of thoughts, and solitude is where the collection is curated and rearranged to make sense of the present and future (The Present Quotes)
It is in our nature to travel into our past, hoping thereby to illuminate the darkness that bedevils the present (The Present Quotes)
If, in the present chaotic and shameful struggle for existence, when organized society offers a premium on greed, cruelty, and deceit, men can be found who stand aloof and almost alone in their determination to work for good rather than gold (The Present Quotes)
No matter how difficult your situation is, you can get through it if you don’t look too far into the future, and focus on the present moment. You can get through anything one day at a time (The Present Quotes)
We pamper the present like a spoiled child, obeying its superficial demands but ignoring its real needs (The Present Quotes)
Intellect without humanity is not good enough... what the world is suffering from at the present time is not so much an overabundance of intellect as an insufficiency of humanity (The Present Quotes)
It’s not life in the present moment that is intolerable; the pain we are avoiding has already happened. We are living in reverse (The Present Quotes)
The past is an interpretation. The future is on illusion. The world does not more through time as if it were a straight line, proceeding from the past to the future. Instead time moves through and within us, in endless spirals. Eternity does not mean infinite time, but simply timelessness. If you want to experience eternal illumination, put the past and the future out of your mind and remain within the present moment (The Present Quotes)
You will never have this day with your children again. Tomorrow they will be a little bigger then they are today. This day is a gift. Breathe and notice. Smell and touch them; study their faces and little feet and pay attention. Relish the charms of the present. Enjoy today mama. It will be over before you know it (The Present Quotes)
Today’s events are tomorrow’s history, yet events seen by the naked eye lack the depth and breadth of human struggles, triumphs and suffering. Writing history is writing the soul of the past… so that the present generation may learn from past mistakes, be inspired by their ancestor’s sacrifices, and take responsibility for the future (The Present Quotes)
My existence shrank from an arrow of light pointing into the future forever to a speck of light that was the present moment. I got better at living in that point of light, making the world into that point. I paid close attention to it. I loved it very much (The Present Quotes)
To me there is no past or future in art. If a work of art does not live in the present, it must not be considered at all (The Present Quotes)
The different styles I have been using in my art must not be seen as an evolution, or as steps towards an unknown ideal of painting. Everything I have ever made was made for the present and with the hope that it would always remain in the present (The Present Quotes)
I do not compare the past with the present without a prejudice for either, but, great as the improvement in country life is in many respects, it seems a pity the old cheap, wholesome dishes have gone to make way for tinned and preserved foods (The Present Quotes)
When you’re in a good mood, bring up the past. When you’re in a bad mood, stick to the present. And when you’re not feeling emotional at all, it’s time to talk about the future (The Present Quotes)
When there is hope in the future, there is power in the present, and since hope is the foundational quality of all change, there is considerable reason to be excited (The Present Quotes)
To the being of fully alive, the future is not ominous but a promise; it surrounds the present like a halo (The Present Quotes)
