It seems we’re not only uninformed about our present, we’re ignorant of our past (Past Quotes)
My past is very interesting, and I treasure it, but to write about it, it’s just not on my radar (Past Quotes)
I’ve been approached many times to write all sorts of books about my past and my personal life. I get interest from people who want to do reality shows, and somebody just offered me a huge amount of money to write my spiritual memoirs. I’m just not interested (Past Quotes)
There are always signs that a reign is ending, and they are usually spotted not in the king himself but in his court. In the inner circle, latent jealousies between advisers spill into open conflict, as they angrily debate who is to blame for the calamity, chewing over each other’s past errors and pointing the finger at old and nascent enemies (Past Quotes)
It may be enough to study history in all its nuance and ambiguity for its own sake. But there is no country free of the need to find new ways of reading the past as an inspiring way of thinking about everything else, including the present (Past Quotes)
All we have to face in the future is what has happened in the past. It is unbearable (Past Quotes)
In reference to Persepolis and all palaces, cities and temples of the past: could these wonders have come into being without that suffering? without the overseer’s whip, the slave’s fear, the ruler’s vanity? was not the monumentality of past epochs created by that which is negative and evil in man? (Past Quotes)
The greatest Americans have not been born yet they are waiting patiently for the past to die (Past Quotes)

The past is to be respected and acknowledged, but not worshipped; it is our future in which we will find our greatness (Past Quotes)
Hahnji, mister, you must be patient. Before you can name that corner, our future must become past (Past Quotes)
To have compassion for those who suffer is a human quality which everyone should possess, especially those who have required comfort themselves in the past and have managed to find it in others (Past Quotes)
If the past has nothing to say to the present, history may go on sleeping undisturbed in the closet where the system keeps its old disguises (Past Quotes)
It seems to me, that this, too, is how memory works. What we remember of what was done to us shapes our view, molds us, sets our stance. But what we remember is past, it no longer exists, and yet we hold on to it, live by it, surrender so much control to it. What do we become when we put down the scripts written by history and memory, when each person before us can be seen free of the cultural or personal narrative we’ve inherited or devised? When we, ourselves, can taste that freedom (Past Quotes)
I want someone who will adore me so much that they cannot even walk past me without touching me in some way. I want someone who will worship me, even when.. I’m sitting around in fluffy slippers with no makeup on and hair scraped back. I’m sick and tired of being on my own. Most of the time I’m fine. Some of the time I even quite enjoy it. But at this precise moment in time I’m fed up with it. I’ve had enough (Past Quotes)
The future cannot blame the present, just as the present cannot blame the past. The hope is always here, always alive, but only your fierce caring can fan it into a fire to warm the world (Past Quotes)
Memory is a snare, pure and simple; it alters, it subtly rearranges the past to fit the present (Past Quotes)
I can’t go back. The past won’t go away in this family (Past Quotes)
The tragedy of this world is that everyone is alone. For a life in the past cannot be shared with the present (Past Quotes)
Good advice is a wise man’s friend, of course; but sometimes it just flies on past, and all you can do is wave (Past Quotes)
I expect we are all jealous of the women in their past, but how much less exciting if the women had not kept the bed warm (Past Quotes)
Memory is a wonderful thing if you don’t have to deal with the past (Past Quotes)
An imagination is a powerful tool. It can tint memories of the past, shade perceptions of the present, or paint a future so vivid that it can entice... or terrify, all depending upon how we conduct ourselves today (Past Quotes)
I used to think that I wouldn’t change anything from my past, because doing so would inevitably affect who I am now. But considering my current state, I’m thinking it might not be a bad idea to go back in time to fix things (Past Quotes)
... I begin with songs. They provide a sort of skeleton grammar for me to flesh out. Songs of longing for future tense, songs of regret for past tense, and songs of love for present tense (Past Quotes)
The library was a little old shaby place. Francie thought it was beautiful. The feeling she had about it was as good as the feeling she had about church. She pushed open the door and went in. She liked the cmbined smell of worn leather bindings, library past and freshly inked stamping pads better than she liked the smell of burning incense at high mass (Past Quotes)
History dies without the present. There is no future without the path made to it by the past (Past Quotes)
Past and future monopolize the poet’s sensory and intellectual faculties, detached from the immediate spectacle. These two philtres become utterly clear the moment one stops being hypnotized by the cloudy precipitate constituted by the world of today (Past Quotes)
Films today show only a dream world and have lost touch with the way people really are... In this country, people die at 21. They die emotionally at 21, maybe younger... My responsibility as an artist is to help people get past 21... The films are a roadmap through emotional and intellectual terrain that provides a solution on how to save pain (Past Quotes)
