Text Quotes
I identify myself in language, but only by losing myself in it like an object. What is realised in my history is not the past definite of what was, since it is no more, or even the present perfect of what has been in what I am, but the future anterior of what I shall have been for what I am in the process of becoming (Past Quotes)
He believed in himself, believed in his quixotic ambition, letting the failures of the previous day disappear as each new day dawned. Yesterday was not today. The past did not predict the future if he could learn from his mistakes (Past Quotes)
He was already looking at their relationship through the lens of the past tense. It puzzled her, the ability of romantic love to mutate, how quickly a loved one could become a stranger. Where did the love go? Perhaps real love was familial, somehow, linked to blood, since love for children did not die as romantic love did (Past Quotes)
He owned a whole world full of memories, of lovely moments relived and happy recollections. I’m not saying he was happy or that he didn’t suffer. He suffered very much, but he did not despair; he still drew nourishment from what he had been given. But the sadness never left him. Happiness needs more than memories of the past to feed on; it also needs dreams of the future (Past Quotes)
Without realizing that the past is constantly determining their present actions, they avoid learning anything about their history. They continue to live in their repressed childhood situation, ignoring the fact that is no longer exists, continuing to fear and avoid dangers that, although once real, have not been real for a long time (Past Quotes)
And though some days it is very hard, I try not to live for the future. And I try not to dream of the past (Past Quotes)
Time is a rigid, bonelike structure, extending infinitely ahead and behind, fossilizing the future as well as the past (Past Quotes)
All time exists. That is the truth... If the future did not exist now, how could we journey toward it? If the past does not exist still, how could we leave it behind? (Past Quotes)
The avalanche of time sweeps everything before it. Every individual instant hurtles into oblivion, drowning out the obliteration of the instant immediately preceding it, and then it too disappears under the onslaught of the next and the next and the next. When the avalanche has shuddered past for a long enough time, the perception of the past evolves. Distant events grow beyond mere history and take on the weight of legend (Past Quotes)
If you are living in the past or in the future, you will never find a meaning in the present (Past Quotes)
The raw fact is that every successful example of economic development this past century... has taken place via globalization (Past Quotes)
The biggest mistake of past centuries in teaching has been to treat all students as if they were variants of the same individual and thus to feel justified in teaching them all the same subjects the same way (Past Quotes)
No one who cooks, cooks alone. Even at her most solitary, a cook in the kitchen is surrounded by generations of cooks past, the advice and menus of cooks present, the wisdom of cookbook writers (Past Quotes)
Too many people live too much in the past. The past must be a springboard, not a sofa (Past Quotes)
We should always be aware that what now lies in the past once lay in the future (Past Quotes)
History is not the accumulation of events of every kind which happened in the past. It is the science of human societies (Past Quotes)
A man rising in the world is not concerned with history; he is too busy making it. But a citizen with a fixed place in the community wants to acquire a glorious past just as he acquires antique furniture. By that past he is reassured of his present importance; in it he finds strength to face the dangers that lie in front of him (Past Quotes)
I am far too much in doubt about the present, far too perturbed.about the future, to be otherwise than profoundly reverential about the past (Past Quotes)
History, as the study of the past, makes the coherence of what happened comprehensible by reducing events to a dramatic pattern and seeming them in a simple form (Past Quotes)
The function off the historian is neither to love the past nor to emancipate himself from the past, but to master and understand it as the key to the understanding of the present (Past Quotes)
We need open minds and open hearts when we wrestle with the past and ask questions of it, and the answers it will provide are in nobody’s pocket... We should let nobody tell us that they know all that it contains, or try to prescribe or constrain in advance what it has to tell us (Past Quotes)
Symbolic rearrangement of the past is of course an unavoidable aspect of all human attempts to make sense of the present (Past Quotes)
History is the torch that is meant to illuminate the past, to guard us against the repetition of our mistakes of other days. We cannot join in the rewriting of history to make it conform to our comfort and convenience (Past Quotes)
What interests us about the past is at least partly a function of what bothers us or makes us curious in the present (Past Quotes)
The past is dead, and nothing that we can choose to believe about it can harm or benefit those who were alive in it. On the other hand, it has the power to harm us (Past Quotes)
The only man who knows just what he thinks at the present moment is the man who hasn’t done any new thinking in the past ten years (Past Quotes)
Love is beyond description; but not beyond demonstrating. Love is beyond the mind because it is always new. Any product of the mind is a reaction of the past, a synthesis of what is old. So the mind is a modifier, a reactor; a renovator, but it cannot create the new (Past Quotes)
Once again a new world view is arising... This idea is the culmination of all human history. It holds the promise of fulfilling the great aspirations of the past and heralds the advent of the next phase of our evolution. It is the idea of conscious evolution (Past Quotes)
Some of the best lessons we ever learn we learn from our mistakes and failures. The error of the past is the wisdom of the future (Past Quotes)
You should not suffer the past. You should be able to wear it like a loose garment, take it off and let it drop (Past Quotes)
