When you have such a huge past, a big background as we have, you can play off that - a lot of people do. But we felt we wouldn't have a legitimate future unless we put something new together.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is an opportunity for us to renew ourselves. There's an opportunity for us to leave the past behind and present something different for the future.
We can never run away from our past. The past will catch up to us because it is us. It is a part of us; it's what makes us we are. It's what delineates the borders of our societies.
The past is really almost as much a work of the imagination as the future.
Let us not be bitter about the past, but let us keep our eyes firmly on the future.
We need to open up the future. We also need to keep everything valuable from the past.
Too many people dwell on the past: the thing is to get on with life.
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.
Our pasts so many times determine the value of what is happening today. Everybody is midway in their story.
A lot of times we base everything just on our immediate circumstance. We don't see a big picture for our lives. We don't love ourselves. We don't have a way of kind of gauging the future.
Isn't it amazing the way the future succeeds in creating an appropriate past?
