Text Quotes
The different styles I have been using in my art must not be seen as an evolution, or as steps towards an unknown ideal of painting. Everything I have ever made was made for the present and with the hope that it would always remain in the present (The Present Quotes)
Poetry is superior to painting in the presentation of words, and painting is superior to poetry in the presentation of facts. For this reason I judge painting to be superior to poetry (The Present Quotes)
It is as certain that many opinions, now general, will be rejected by future ages, as it is that many, once general, are rejected by the present (The Present Quotes)
Active valour may often be the present of nature; but such patient diligence can be the fruit only of habit and discipline (The Present Quotes)
The mind can be thought of as containing reels and reels of motion picture film about our past experiences. These images are superimposed not only on each other but also on the lens through which we experience the present (The Present Quotes)
If one understands eternity as timelessness, and not as an unending timespan, then whoever lives in the present lives for all time (The Present Quotes)
It becomes possible to admit that plainness may coexist with nobility of nature, and fine features with baseness; and yet to hold that mental and physical perfection are fundamentally connected, and will, when the present causes of incongruity have worked themselves out, be ever found united (The Present Quotes)
Humans are the only animals that try to dwell in the future. You don’t have to purely live in the present situation without a plan, but the future plans you make can only be based on the aspects of the future that manifest within the present situation (The Present Quotes)
Live more and more in the present, which is ever beautiful and stretches away beyond the limits of the past and the future (The Present Quotes)
It will afford me unfeigned satisfaction if my kingdom can add its quota toward the successful accomplishment of the most important astronomical observation of the present century and assist, however humbly, the enlightened nations of the earth in these costly enterprises (The Present Quotes)
The smallest modification of tonality affects structure. Some things have to be rather large, but elegance is the presentation of things in their minimum dimensions (The Present Quotes)
Our old experiences, memories and fears guide us down the present path. It’s not so much that you are the artist; you are the conduit (The Present Quotes)
Great art does not break with the past. It breaks with the present by emulating the best of the past (The Present Quotes)
Illinois is the only state where the present governor rides around in a car whose license plate was made by a previous governor (The Present Quotes)
We urgently need an end to these false assurances, to the sugar coating of unpalatable facts. It is the public that is being asked to assume the risks that the insect controllers calculate. The public must decide whether it wishes to continue on the present road, and it can do so only when in full possession of the facts (The Present Quotes)
The beauty and charm of the wilderness are his for the asking, for the edges of the wilderness lie close beside the beaten roads of the present travel (The Present Quotes)
Throw away all ambition beyond that of doing the day’s work well. The travelers on the road to success live in the present, heedless of taking thought for the morrow. Live neither in the past nor in the future, but let each day’s work absorb your entire energies, and satisfy your wildest ambition (The Present Quotes)
On the whole, we think that the greatest victories are yet to be won, the greatest deeds yet to be done, and that there are yet in store for our peoples, and for the causes that we uphold, grander triumphs than have ever yet been scored. But be this as it may, we gladly agree that the one plain duty of every man is to face the future as he faces the present, regardless of what it may have in store for him, turning toward the light as he sees the light, to play his part manfully, as a man among men (The Present Quotes)
No dogma taught by the present civilization seems to form so insuperable an obstacle in a way of a right understanding of the relations which culture sustains as to wilderness, as that which declares that the world was made especially for the uses of men. Every animal, plant, and crystal controverts it in the plainest terms. Yet it is taught from century to century as something ever new and precious, and in the resulting darkness the enormous conceit is allowed to go unchallenged (The Present Quotes)
Let us seek to extend the present life to the uttermost by observing every law of health, and by properly balancing labor, study, rest and recreation (The Present Quotes)
Sometimes we believe that happiness is not possible in the here and now, that we need a few more conditions to be happy. So we run toward the future to get the conditions we think are missing. But by doing so we sacrifice the present moment; we sacrifice true life (The Present Quotes)
We must look deeply into the nature of our volition to see whether it is pushing us in the direction of liberation from suffering and toward peace and compassion, or in the direction of affliction and misery. What is it that we really want deep in our heart? Is it money, fame, power? Or is it finding inner peace, being able to live life fully and enjoy the present moment? (The Present Quotes)
Through imagination, we can visit the past, contemplate the present, and anticipate the future. We can also do something else of profound and unique significance. We can create (The Present Quotes)
What is needed desperately today is prophetic insight. Scholars can interpret the past; it takes prophets to interpret the present (The Present Quotes)
The past is history, the future is a mystery. But today is a gift...that’s why they call it the present. So cherish every minute of it (The Present Quotes)
Paintings exist in the present tense, yet somehow, because of how it’s structured, it can move backwards through time as well (The Present Quotes)
The pictures remind you of something that can never be recaptured, the time is gone, the only thing you know is the present. That’s all that’s knowable and even the present isn’t knowable. The present becomes the past... so you really don’t know anything (The Present Quotes)
An actor definitely has to be in the past a well as the present; an actor must react to past experiences every minute, every second (The Present Quotes)
In order to survive, all systems must evolve by providing greater and greater access to the currents that flow through them. This applies to all physical, biological and social systems that survive and thrive... But let’s take that one step forward... the systems just described are... constantly evolving. This suggests another design principle:... design for evolution rather than creating a static design optimizing for the present (The Present Quotes)
Nothing that happened before this moment has any power over you whatsoever, except to the extent to which you carry it into this moment. Dwell in the present with full forgiveness of yourself and others, and your life will be lifted to divine right order...perfection, prosperity and peace (The Present Quotes)
