Past Quotes

We can’t save the past or solve the riddle of love. But to me, it’s worth trying Picture Quote #1

I went to work at the library. I know that sounds crazy but I didn’t know where else to go. Besides, at the library I was constantly surrounded by people. And I loved my job, surrounded by so many books, so many lives, so much of the past Picture Quote #1

Knowing what you need doesn’t always mean you know how to get it, though. I’d spent a long time hiding in my cave. No matter how much I might want to come out into the light, I knew it would hurt my eyes. I was a fool. A fool, but nevertheless too smart not to know I was the architect of my own demise, that it was time to put my past behind me. It was time to stop allowing the white elephants to stand unspoken of in my living room Picture Quote #1

I do not like that I allowed my past to close me off. I do not like that I let circumstances rob me of the ability to have a normal relationship with a man, to have friends, to be happy. I do not like it, but I had felt myself powerless against it Picture Quote #1

There is no past or future. Using tenses to divide time is like making chalk marks on water Picture Quote #1

In years past, to keep their men close, women would wear a ring and bear children. It doesn’t work like that today. Nowadays, how do we hold on to those we love? I’ve no idea Picture Quote #1

Maybe belief is the biggest lie. In ages past, the earliest philosophers tried to explain the stars in the sky and the world around them. One of them conceived of the notion that the universe was mounted on giant crystal spheres controlled by a giant machine, which explained the movements of the heavens. He was laughed at and told that such a machine would be so huge and noisy that everyone would hear it. He simply replied that we are born with that noise all around us, and that we are so used to hearing it that we cannot hear it at all Picture Quote #1

The one who forgives never brings up the past to that person’s face. When you forgive, it’s like it never happened. True forgiveness is complete and total Picture Quote #1

For what is a person without memories? A ghost, trapped between worlds, without an identity, with no future, no past Picture Quote #1

It was strange to find them here, still alive, with their shared bits of past that suddenly counted for nothing Picture Quote #1

That’s the past for you. Not only does it come back at the most unexpected, and inconvenient, times but it’s set in stone Picture Quote #1

The past is another land, and we cannot go to visit. So, if I say there were dragons, and men who rode upon their backs, who alive has been there and can tell me that I’m wrong? Picture Quote #1

Reality is not a function of the event as event, but of the relationship of that event to past, and future, events Picture Quote #1

The older we get the more we seem to think that everything was better in the past Picture Quote #1

Human beings are naturally flawed when it comes to time and memory. The past is forgotten, or it is believed bad things will not recur, and people become bound in their current problems. That which afflicted the grandfathers of their grandfathers is a distant, dim thing, and not as important as present concerns, no matter how trivial Picture Quote #1

Michel. In my dreams, you come and get me. You take me by the hand and you lead me away. This life is too much for me to bear. I look at the key and I long for you and for the past. For the innocent, easy days before the war. I know now my scars will never heal. I hope my son will forgive me. He will never know. No one will ever know Picture Quote #1

She didn’t want to be reminded of her past or how different her present was from the future she’d taken for granted Picture Quote #1

Sit and quiet yourself. Luxuriate in a certain memory and the details will come. Let the images flow. You’ll be amazed at what will come out on paper. I’m still learning what it is about the past that I want to write. I don’t worry about it. It will emerge. It will insist on being told Picture Quote #1

It’s like you wake up one morning, and decided that how you’ve been in the past doesn’t have to define who you are in the future. Simple as that Picture Quote #1

We are all ashamed in one way or another. Who among us is not stained by the past? Picture Quote #1

She belongs to the winter that is past, to the darkness that is over, and has no part or lot in the life I shall lead for the next six months. Oh, I could dance and sing for joy that the spring is here! What a ressurection of beauty there is in my garden, and of brightest hope in my heart Picture Quote #1

Don’t put your life on hold so that you can dwell on the unfairness of past hurts Picture Quote #1

There was no way to grasp the reality of the present which slid away each second, invisible as air; reality only existed after the fact, in one’s vision of the past Picture Quote #1

If reality is as equally valuable as fiction, then you should just chalk up the parts of the past you don’t need to your imagination Picture Quote #1

Maybe happiness was an hourglass already running out, the grains tipping, sifting past each other. Maybe it was a state of mind Picture Quote #1

You can’t help being young, but it’s past time that you stopped being stupid Picture Quote #1

I think you’d best make your peace with the past since you’ve come this far. I think you know by now that you won’t go back again Picture Quote #1

The past is weird. I mean, does it really exist? It feels like it exists, but where is it? And if it did exists, but doesn’t now, then where did it go? Picture Quote #1

Sometimes when she told stories about the past her eyes would get teary from all the memories she had, but they weren’t tears. She wasn’t crying. They were just the memories, leaking out Picture Quote #1

.. there is hope. That’s the marvelous thing about being human. We can change our future. We need not be enslaved by the experiences of the past. We can learn to love even when we have not received love Picture Quote #1
