“Use your imagination only on the future, never on the present or the past.”

“And imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.”

“Imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.”

“We have to do with the past only as we can make it useful to the present and the future.”

“Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. (...) You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.”

“It was never too late to learn something. The past is unalterable in any event. The future is the only thing we can change. Learning the lessons of the past is the only way to shape the present and the future.”
