“Everyone occasionally is haunted by the past and should consider; no amount of remorse will erase the past and no amount of apprehension will alter the future.”

“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.”

“My body, every possession
And all goodness, past, present and future
Without remorse I dedicate
To the well-being of the world.”

“The past is history written in stone that can't be altered. The future is transitory and never guaranteed. Today is the only thing you can alter for certain. Make the most of it.”

“What happens in the past, is in the past. But don't be surprised if it comes back and haunts you.”

“Prolong not the past
Invite not the future
Do not alter your innate wakefulness
Fear not appearances
There in nothing more than this”

“Everyone has got to realise you can't hold onto the past if you want any future. Each second should lead to the next one.”

“there is no cultural identity in a population without a stable ethnic composition. The alteration of a country’s ethnic makeup amounts to an alteration of its cultural identity.”

“To enforce the lies of the present, it is necessary to erase the truths of the past.”

“One alters the past to form the future but there is a real significance to the pattern which finally appears, which resists all further change.”
