Text Quotes
A daughter is the happy memories of the past, the joyful moments of the present, and the hope and promise of the future  (The Past Quotes) If you read the stories of the great spiritual teachers of the past, we find that they have attained spiritual realization through a great deal of meditation, solitude and practice. They did not take any shortcuts  (The Past Quotes) A look at the past reminds us of how great is the distance, and how short, over which we have come. The past makes us ask what we have done with us. It makes us ask whether our very achievements are not ironical counterpoint and contrast to our fundamental failures  (The Past Quotes) Man is an historical animal, with a deep sense of his own past; and if he cannot integrate the past by a history explicit and true, he will integrate it by a history implicit and false  (The Past Quotes) If history were a photograph of the past it would be flat and uninspiring. Happily, it is a painting; and, like all works of art, it fails of the highest truth unless imagination and ideas are mixed with the paints  (The Past Quotes) The present is the past rolled up for action, and the past is the present unrolled for understanding  (The Past Quotes) It’s probably why I’m a short story writer. I tend to remember things in the past in narrative form, in story form, and I grew up around people who told stories all the time  (The Past Quotes) In the past, so many of my records, really, have been sketches for records that never really got made  (The Past Quotes) There’s no future without the past and anybody who doesn’t really understand where jazz has come from has no right to try to direct where it’s going  (The Past Quotes) The only way to maintain a moderate sum of happiness in this life, is not to worry about the future or regret the past too much  (The Past Quotes) One of the beauties of art is that it reflects an artist’s entire life. What I’ve learned over the past 30 years is really beginning to inform what I make. I hope that process continues until I die  (The Past Quotes) Society expresses its sympathy for the geniuses of the past to distract attention from the fact that it has no intention of being sympathetic to the geniuses of the present  (The Past Quotes) To mature means to take responsibility for your life, to be on your own. Psychoanalysis fosters the infantile state by considering that the past is responsible for the illness  (The Past Quotes) Apothegms are the wisdom of the past condensed for the instruction and guidance of the present  (The Past Quotes) The past exudes legend: one can’t make pure clay of time’s mud  (The Past Quotes) Raking over the past and sifting its dust is an occupation for the idle or the elderly retired  (The Past Quotes) Postmodernism represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past  (The Past Quotes) The past was nothing to her; offered no lesson which she was willing to heed. The future was a mystery which she never attempted to penetrate. The present alone was significant  (The Past Quotes) Looking repeatedly into the past, you do not necessarily become fascinated with your own life, but rather with the phenomenon of memory  (The Past Quotes) Most people, after accomplishing something, use it over and over again like a gramophone record till it cracks, forgetting that the past is just the stuff with which to make more future  (The Past Quotes) The past empowers the present, and the sweeping footsteps leading to this present mark the pathways to the future  (The Past Quotes) The people who live in the past must yield to the people who live in the future. Otherwise the world would begin to turn the other way round  (The Past Quotes) There is never finality in the display terminal’s screen, but an irresponsible whimsicality, as words, sentences, and paragraphs are negated at the touch of a key. The significance of the past, as expressed in the manuscript by a deleted word or an inserted correction, is annulled in idle gusts of electronic massacre  (The Past Quotes) May you look back on the past with as much pleasure as you look forward to the future  (The Past Quotes) As youth lives in the future, so the adult lives in the past: No one rightly knows how to live in the present  (The Past Quotes) There aren’t many irritations to match the condescension which a woman metes out to a man who she believes has loved her vainly for the past umpteen years  (The Past Quotes) Change hurts. It makes people insecure, confused, and angry. People want things to be the same as they’ve always been, because that makes life easier. But, if you’re a leader, you can’t let your people hang on to the past  (The Past Quotes) The new man is born too old to tolerate the new world. The present conditions of life have not yet erased the traces of the past. We run too fast, but we still do not move enough. He looks but he does not contemplate, he sees but he does not think. He runs away from time, which is made of thought, and yet all he can feel is his own time, the present  (The Past Quotes) What needs to be discharged is the intolerable tenderness of the past, the past gone and grieved over and never made sense of. Music ransoms us from the past, declares an amnesty, brackets and sets aside the old puzzles. Sing a new song. Start a new life, get a girl, look into her shadowy eyes, smile  (The Past Quotes) The people who get into trouble in our company are those who carry around the anchor of the past  (The Past Quotes)
