The present contains nothing more than the past, and what is found in the effect was already in the cause.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The future influences the present just as much as the past.
The past has to inform the present.
Everything present is included in the past somewhere; nobody's present pops out of nowhere.
I don't connect much with the present. I have more of an affinity for what came in the past.
The future is made of the same stuff as the present.
We live in a moment of history where change is so speeded up that we begin to see the present only when it is already disappearing.
The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
If you want the present to be different from the past, study the past.
The task of understanding the past is neverending.
There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past.
