Quotations
Future
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"

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 never think of the future. It comes soon enough.
-Albert Einstein
Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation

I have seen the future and it is very much like the present - only longer.

You realize that our mistrust of the future makes it hard to give up the past.
