Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The future is purchased by the present.
It is said that the present is pregnant with the future.
The future influences the present just as much as the past.
The past is an old armchair in the attic, the present an ominous ticking sound, and the future is anybody's guess.
If the future, as imagined in literature, is really the present taken to extremes, then the past is also the present, but boiled down.
The past becomes a texture, an ambience to our present.
The future is much like the present, only longer.
People don't realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.
There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past.
The future is made of the same stuff as the present.
