“The lights come on and my future returns in the glare.”

“The future is like a corridor into which we can see only by the light coming from behind.”

“There are two kinds of light - the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.”

“Credit' comes from the Latin 'credere', 'to believe', for credit is the belief that the money you're borrowing will someday be returned, a belief that needs the future to function in.”

“What you think of as they past is a memory trace, stored in the mind, of a former Now. When you remember the past, you reactivate a memory trace -- and you do so now. The future is an imagined Now, a projection of the mind. When the future comes, it comes as the Now. When you think about the future, you do it now. Past and future obviously have no reality of their own. Just as the moon has no light of its own, but can only reflect the light of the sun, so are past and future only pale reflections of the light, power, and reality of the eternal present. Their reality is "borrowed" from the Now.”

“My mother once told me that no woman is naked when she comes equipped with a bad mood and a steady glare.”
