Quotations
Future
The past attracts me, the present frightens me, because the future is death.
-Guy De Maupassant
Life is only the present. And in the present, neither there is room for memories of
the past nor worries of the future. The root cause of all the miseries of life is the
effort to accommodate the past or future in the present.
-Deep Trivedi
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"
I believe the future is only the past again, entered through another gate.
-Arthur Wing Pinero

-Andy Warhol
The past can't see you, but the future is listening.
-Terri Guillemets
And in today already walks tomorrow.
-Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Tomorrow I may see (or be persuaded of) errors in my present thinking, but today I have to do the best I can.
