“The past, present, and future, were all equally in gloom.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Among the things Billy Pilgrim could not change were the past, the present, and the future.”
“Remembrance of the past kills all present energy and deadens all hope for the future”
“The past does not equal the future.”
