-Sylvia Plath
Quotations
Future
I have memories - but only a fool stores his past in the future.
-David Gerrold
I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Alchemist"
People were always getting ready for tomorrow.
I didn’t believe in that.
Tomorrow wasn’t getting ready for them.
It didn’t even know they were there.
-Cormac McCarthy
"The Road"
Tomorrow I may see (or be persuaded of) errors in my present thinking, but today I have to do the best I can.
-Francis Crick
"Astonishing Hypothesis: The Scientific Search for the Soul"
And in today already walks tomorrow.
-Samuel Taylor Coleridge
There are many tomorrows,
There is only one today.
-Joaquin Miller
The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.
-Marcel Pagnol
We cannot always assure the future of our friends; we have a better chance of assuring our future if we remember who our friends are.
-Henry A. Kissinger
When all else is lost, the future still remains.
-Christian Nestell Bovee
