No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.

No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.

I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.

In known history, nobody has had such capacity for altering the universe than the people of the United States of America. And nobody has gone about it in such an aggressive way.

What the devil is the point of surviving, going on living, when it's a drag? But you see, that's what people do.

HIGGINS. At her age! Nonsense! Time enough to think of the future when you havnt any future to think of.
