“The more shared past there is in a relationship, the more present you need to be; otherwise, you will be forced to relive the past again and again.”

“It is sadder to find the past again and find it inadequate to the present than it is to have it elude you and remain forever a harmonious conception of memory.”

“There is no present or future-only the past, happening over and over again-now.”

“You will only look for past events when the present is unsatisfactory. The secret to enjoying the present moment is to make it more satisfying than the past. Go beyond the limits.”

“The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present.”

“Sometimes you can’t let go of the past without facing it again.”

“No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again.”

“Reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems - but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems more and more incredible.”

“The past is pervasive; it seeps into everything;… And yet because the past is irreplaceable and cannot be done again, it was that very past, not the present or the future, that was so delicate, so vulnerable, so dreadfully easy to erase.”

“There is no past. Past is present when you carry it with you.”
