“The Present is where the Past shakes hands with the Future.”

“Most people are prisoners, thinking only about the future or living in the past. They are not in the present, and the present is where everything begins. ”

“How can the past and future be, when the past no longer is, and the future is not yet? As for the present, if it were always present and never moved on to become the past, it would not be time, but eternity.”

“I am not blinded by the past or motivated by the future. I focus on the present, because that is where I am destined to live”

“The future is foretold from the past and the future is only possible because of the past. Without past and future, the present is partial. All time is eternally present and so all time is ours. There is no sense in forgetting and every sense in dreaming. Thus the present is made rich.”

“When a reader enters the pages of a book of poetry, he or she enters a world where dreams transform the past into knowledge made applicable to the present, and where visions shape the present into extraordinary possibilities for the future.”
