And in today already walks tomorrow.
-Samuel Taylor Coleridge
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"

-Marcel Pagnol
After all, tomorrow is another day!
-Margaret Mitchell
"Gone With the Wind"
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.
