“anyone can create the future but only a wise man can create the past”

“One with true creativity can erase their one past, and replace it with an infinite number of pasts, creating new possibilities for the future.”

“Only a man who is happy can create happiness in others.”

“People are always shouting they want to create a better future. It's not true. The future is an apathetic void of no interest to anyone. The past is full of life, eager to irritate us, provoke and insult us, tempt us to destroy or repaint it. The only reason people want to be masters of the future is to change the past.”

“There is no past we can bring back by longing for it. There is only an eternal now that builds and creates out of the past something new and better.”

“Life is the future, not the past. The past can teach us, through experience, how to accomplish things in the future, comfort us with cherished memories, and provide the foundation of what has already been accomplished. But only the future holds life. To live in the past is to embrace what is dead. To live life to its fullest, each day must be created a new.”
