Quotations
Future
The past attracts me, the present frightens me, because the future is death.
-Guy De Maupassant

"Astonishing Hypothesis: The Scientific Search for the Soul"
The entire past of a person is like a dustbin. Whenever one puts his hand in and
tries to take anything out, no matter what it is, it will surely stink. Similarly, all his
aspirations for future resemble the desire to fly like a bird, whenever he will try,
he is bound to fall hard and hit the ground.
-Deep Trivedi
I wonder why I don't go to bed and go to sleep. But then it would be tomorrow, so I decide that no matter how tired, no matter how incoherent I am, I can skip one hour more of sleep and live.
-Sylvia Plath
The future is uncertain but the end is always near.
-Jim Morrison
The future is always beginning now.
-Mark Strand
"Reasons for Moving"
I believe the future is only the past again, entered through another gate.
-Arthur Wing Pinero
"The Second Mrs. Tanqueray"
I have memories - but only a fool stores his past in the future.
