“Harry Dresden: Tonight you will be visited by three spirits, the ghosts of indictment past, present and future. They will teach you the true meaning of "you are still a scumbag criminal."”

“If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.”

“You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future.”

“You know most people live ninety per cent in the past, seven per cent in the present, and that only leaves them three per cent for the future.”

“If you continue to visualize things in the past, you are unlikely to make much progress in the present and the future.”

“It’s what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.”

“I wish to acquaint you with some of the occurrences of the present past and future.”

“You are the only young man that I know of who ignores the fact that the future becomes the present, the present the past and the past turns into everlasting regret if you don't plan for it!”

“Whereas before you dwelt in time and paid brief visits to the Now, have your dwelling place in the Now and pay brief visits to past and future.”

“But this was what happened when you didn't want to visit and confront the past: the past starts visiting and confronting you.”
