“You may have created my past and screwed up my present, but you have no control over my future.”

“The good news is that you may have created my past and screwed up my present, but you have no control over my future. You don't know me at all.”

“I need to acknowledge that she may have controlled my past, but she doesn't have to dominate my present and my future, too”

“What right does my present have to speak of my past? Has my present some advantage over my past? What "grace" might have enlightened me? except that of passing time, or of a good cause, encountered on my way?”

“My love for you spans over the lines of my past, present, and future. You are what I love remembering, what I love experiencing, and what I love looking forward to.”

“don't live in either my past or my future. I'm interested only inthe present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happyman.”
