The Present Quotes

I do not believe that the present flowering of science is due in the least to a real appreciation of the beauty and intellectual discipline of the subject. It is due simply to the fact that power, wealth and prestige can only be obtained by the correct application of science Picture Quote #1

All good men wish the entire abolition of slavery, as soon as it can take place with safety to the public, and for the lasting good of the present wretched race of slaves. The only possible step that could be taken towards it by the convention was to fix a period after which they should not be imported Picture Quote #1

Fashion will last forever. It will exist always. It will exist in its own way in each era. I live in the moment. It’s interesting to know the old methods. But you have to live in the present moment Picture Quote #1

Every writer must reconcile, as best he may, the conflicting claims of consistency and variety, of rigour in detail and elegance in the whole. The present author humbly confesses that, to him, geometry is nothing at all, if not a branch of art Picture Quote #1

We should not forget that our tradition is one of protest and revolt and that it is stultifying to celebrate the rebels of the past...while we silence the rebels of the present Picture Quote #1

I have learned to accept that, in the present moment at least, things are exactly as they are meant to be, and although I cannot control the future any more than I could control the wind and the weather, I can manage it and influence it in a positive way Picture Quote #1

Leading women, if they are to offer variations from the present companies of leading men, need to be drawn from a wide spectrum of household and family arrangements. If women with children and family responsibilities are almost always seriously limited by these, then those currently in power will not have the personal experience necessary to represent these overlooked areas Picture Quote #1

And then you see right away it may well happen that you enter a decade or maybe even two, when the temperature cools relative to the present level... I’m definitely not one of the skeptics... However, we have to ask the nasty questions ourselves, or some other people will do it Picture Quote #1

One should learn from the past, but one should not live in the past. My concern is to look to the future, learn from the past, and deal with the present Picture Quote #1

When I am asked what I believe in, I say that I believe in architecture. Architecture is the mother of the arts. I like to believe that architecture connects the present with the past and the tangible with the intangible Picture Quote #1

Judicial execution can never cancel or remove the atrocity it seeks to punish; it can only add a second atrocity to the original one... So long as one sees killing as wrong there is no need to waste time with the deterrent argument, since it would be nonsense to try to prevent a theoretical evil in the future by perpetrating an actual one in the present Picture Quote #1

The minority has discovered a powerful help in influencing majorities. It has been found possible so to mold the mind of the masses that they will throw their newly gained strength in the desired direction. In the present structure of society, this practice is inevitable. Whatever of social importance is done today, whether in politics, finance, manufacture, agriculture, charity, education, or other fields, must be done with the help of propaganda. Propaganda is the executive arm of the invisible government Picture Quote #1

Governments are trying to achieve unanimity by stifling any scientist who disagrees. Einstein could not have got funding under the present system Picture Quote #1

Live in the present tense, facing the duty at hand without regret for the past or worry over the future Picture Quote #1

Humans can’t live in the present, like animals do. Humans are always thinking about the future or the past. So it’s a veil of tears, man. I don’t know anything that’s going to benefit me now, except love. I just need an overwhelming amount of love. And a nap. Mostly a nap Picture Quote #1

To live in an evolutionary spirit means to engage with full ambition and without any reserve in the structure of the present, and yet to let go and flow into a new structure when the right time has come Picture Quote #1

A second variety concentrated on presumed major transformations of the capitalist system as of some recent point in time, in which the whole earlier point of time served as a mythologized foil against which to treat the empirical reality of the present Picture Quote #1

O I know they make war because they want peace; they hate so that they may live; and they destroy the present to make the world safe for the future. When have they not done and said they did it for that? Picture Quote #1

You get lost because you think there is somewhere to go. If you give up believing in a goal or a destination, then you cannot get lost. In the present moment, there is no destination Picture Quote #1

Something to remember on your birthday.. Forget the past, it can’t be changed.. And, forget the present because I didn’t get you one Picture Quote #1

Be present in your work because kids live in the moment, so as soon as you’re not in the present, you’re not being authentic Picture Quote #1

When happiness is happening it feels as if nothing else happened before it, it is a sensation that happens only in the present tense Picture Quote #1

Agnosticism is no excuse for indecision. If anything, it is a catalyst for action; for in shifting concern away from a future life and back to the present, it demands an ethics of empathy rather than a metaphysics of fear and hope Picture Quote #1

You live in the present and you eliminate things that don’t matter. You don’t carry the burden of the past. I’m not impressed by the past very much. The past bores me, to tell you the truth; it really bores me. I don’t remember many movies and certainly not my own Picture Quote #1

We may have doubts, but we control the present. We always have the choice to move forward with hope and confidence Picture Quote #1

The past is part of the present, is part of the future, it’s all part of being an artist. You cannot be something that you’re not when you’re not that thing anymore, and if you do that then you’re a liar Picture Quote #1

Each of us carries around those growing up places, the institutions, a sort of backdrop, a stage set. So often we act out the present against the backdrop of the past, within a frame of perception that is so familiar, so safe that is is terrifying to risk changing it even when we know our perceptions are distorted, limited, constricted by that old view Picture Quote #1

Literature is the best way to overcome death. My father, as I said, is an actor. He’s the happiest man on earth when he’s performing, but when the show is over, he’s sad and troubled. I wish he could live in the eternal present, because in the theater everything remains in memories and photographs. Literature, on the other hand, allows you to live in the present and to remain in the pantheon of the future.Literature is a way to say, I was here, this is what I thought, this is what I perceived. This is my signature, this is my name Picture Quote #1

Poetry was syllable and rhythm. Poetry was the measurement of breath. Poetry was time make audible. Poetry evoked the present moment; poetry was the antidote to history. Poetry was language free from habit Picture Quote #1

It’s too easy, you see, to get trapped in the past. The past is very seductive. People always talk about the mists of time, you know, but really it’s the present that’s in a mist, uncertain. The past is quite clear, and warm, and comforting. That’s why people often get stuck there Picture Quote #1
