“It is only by making the past alive again for a person that a true growth in the present is facilitated. If the past is cut off, the future does not exist.”

“...when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, present, and future, always have existed, always will exist.”

“The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist.”

“There is no present or future-only the past, happening over and over again-now.”

“Past and future exist only in our memory. The present moment though, is outside of time, it's Eternity. It isn;t what you did in the past that will affect the present. It's what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.”

“Live in the present, remember the past, and fear not the future, for it doesn't exist and never shall. There is only now.”
