When you begin to think about the past, you realize how much of it is lost to us.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We're all struggling to get out of the past. We see something that reminds us of something, and then we bring our baggage into the present. Then we project it onto people constantly.
Sometimes it takes looking at the past to really be able to move forward and learn from it.
The way you remember the past depends upon your hope for the future. And if what you see in your future has no hope, it has no potential, then you view the past that brought you to here as not very good.
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.
If we understand the past, we are more likely to recognise what is happening around us.
I'm just fascinated by the past. You know, both by the possibilities it holds and by the complete tyranny of it, the way it sort of keeps you in this stranglehold and makes you want things that you no longer have and you can never get back.
When the mind once allows a doubt to gain entrance, the value of deeds performed grow less, their character changes, we forget the past and dread the future.
I think we really forget how connected we are to the past.
Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories.
The past is what you remember, imagine you remember, convince yourself you remember, or pretend you remember.
