Arthur C. Clarke
Nothing, is what it appears to be, when it's only with your eyes you see.
N'Zuri Za Austin
The future cannot be predicted, but futures can be invented. It was man’s ability to invent which has made human society what it is. The mental processes of inventions are still mysterious. They are rational but not logical, that is to say, not deductive.

Charlotte Brontë
The prison bars deny you the now. You are forced to always think about the past or the future.
E. Leo Foster
Each generation searches their memories for time lost, feels the urgent exigencies of the present, and worries about the uncertainty of the future. Akin to preceding generations, how we live, the choices we make for surviving and loving, is our story.
Kilroy J. Oldster
We cannot turn back the clock and relive cherished pastimes. We move beyond our origins. A person must make their way in an evolving social, political, and economic world order. We must not be too quick writing off the influence of our prior experiences, because the long tentacles the past remain vibrant strands within us. While the past does not cast our future in stone, its durable mold shapes our present. The ingrained strumming of our personal histories, sentimental or otherwise, also portents what might come along in our future.
Kilroy J. Oldster
Feeling extremely foolish, the acting representative of Homo sapiens watched his First Contact stride away across the Raman plain, totally indifferent to his presence.
Arthur C. Clarke
I no longer looked to the future or lost hope in it. The past and the future are, from the view of the present, nothing more than a distant paradise. As one who can never achieve divinity, all I could do is ponder that with all of my might.
Kinoko Nasu
The negative feelings of anger, bitterness, guilt, regret, resentment, and sadness represent a failure of a person to accept that the past is an event that holds no power over the present. The thought that the future will bring salvation is an illusion. We must exist in the present.
Kilroy J. Oldster
Do we miss not only the past but every future the lost past describes? Is that just the nature of missing? All the lost might-have-beens? The certainty that those uncertain futures are gone?
Mark Z. Danielewski
It's always going to get better someday. Sometime in the future, things won't be so crazy.
Rachel Hawkins
All that time I thought she was my future, I was wrong. She wasn't my future at all. She was the door to my future. But I'm through that door now, and ready to close it behind me.
Liz Kessler
If future frightens you, Let me tell you, neither it is sure - nor it is relevant. But for sure, you are wasting your present which is certain! Live Life Day @ Time
Praveen Chenna
Your future self is watching you right now through your memories.
Aubrey de Grey
Every past used to be a future once upon a time
Munia Khan
In the wink of an eye, all quaint days of the past, the present, and future will meld together into the bottomless unknown of perpetuity. Only trace evidence of our invertebrate existence will anoint future generations. In the crinkle of time, our houses will crumble apart. Companies that we worked for will go out of business or merge with other nameless conglomerates. What will survive us are our children and our words.
Kilroy J. Oldster
People living in different places invent different words for things, and then the words control how they think. The Masai people, for instance, do not have a word that means 'the future.' Therefore, when they talk of time, they always talk about the present time.Hope, for example, lives in the future. The things one hopes for are always things in the future. So the Masai people may never have felt hope, since they have no idea of a future.But, if the Masai live without hope, they also live without fear. For fear is always about the future, too.-Herr Winteler
Robert Cwiklik

Nana Awere Damoah
He who knows everything about the future must surely be a cursed person! Because life is beautiful if you do not know what life will bring you!
Mehmet Murat ildan
Too many of our preferences reflect nasty behaviours and states of mind that were genetically adaptive in the ancestral environment. Instead, wouldn't it be better if we rewrote our own corrupt code?
David Pearce
Future is not dark, future is not bright! Future simply does not exist yet, neither dark nor bright!
Mehmet Murat ildan
The future is never set in stone.
Erin Morgenstern
Sometimes, when we pray for miracles what we are really praying for is God to do the work that we are too afraid to take action about. Often, the miracle resides in us and we need to simply "be all in", rather than standing on the fence waiting.
Shannon L. Alder
There is not, in a material sense, any benefit to being right about a future you will not experience. But there are intrinsic benefits to constantly probing the possibility that our assumptions about the future might be wrong: humility and wonder.
Chuck Klosterman
Each person's present feelings are determined by a million instant confrontations of previous experineces. A long time period lived under the effects of chemicals, can become ''your true past''. Note that each past was future for it's own past. If you want to leave a stable past to your far distant future, start using the right chemicals in the right way, today.
Alper Mazun
Like characters in Greek tragedy, we seem fated to push technology towards its ultimate degree as if we were possessed by malignant gods. We call these gods "curiosity" and "creativity" and "reason" and "progress", but when these words are perverted by technocrats, they are more like the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
Curtis White
We write our personal story as intermittent authors; the narrator is always searching for a unitive point of view. We strive to perceive oneself from a unified perspective, but it is virtually impossible to do so. Human perception of the self is an illusion. We constantly sift through shifting memories. We experience the present under the fragrance cast by the past and under the illusionary aura of the future.
Kilroy J. Oldster
It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly. Do not mistake activity for achievement.

Kim Kiyosaki
Happiness is already in the future because your heart and mind took you there a million times already. It knew.
Shannon L. Alder
However much things have been said in the past, there will be always something new to be said in the future!
Mehmet Murat ildan
This is what you have to understand. You grew up, you went to this school and that one, you made these friends and those. It was nothing. The future is a much bigger deal than the past, Adrian, a much bigger deal. Not just because it has babies in it, but because there are better people in it, who are better behaved and more fun to be with, the scenery is better, the weather is better, the rewards and thrills are better. But I really am not sure that you will ever...
Stephen Fry
Just because we’ve made poor or wrong choices in the past, does not limit us from making wise and good choices now.
Toni Sorenson
Don't spend so much time chasing your future that you run over your present.
Carlos Wallace
I'm married to the future.
Robert Ferrigno
Dwelling on the past only defeated her chances for changing the future.
Francine Rivers
In the past, nothing is irretrievably lost, but rather, on the contrary, everything is irrevocably stored and treasured. To be sure, people tend to see only the stubble fields of transitoriness but overlook and forget the full granaries of the past into which they have brought the harvest of their lives: the deeds done, the loves loved, and last but not least, the sufferings they have gone through with courage and dignity.From this one may see that there is no reason to pity the old people. Instead, young people should envy them. It is true that the old have no opportunities, no possibilities in the future. But they have more than that: Instead of possibilities in the future, they have realities in the past -the potentialities they have actualized, the meanings they have fulfilled, the values they have realized -and nothing and nobody can ever remove these assets from the past.
Viktor E. Frankl
Future is the most difficult problem of our era.
Pearl Zhu
In the same way, teenagers imagine dying young because death is more imaginable than the person that all the decisions and burdens of adulthood may make of you.
Rebecca Solnit
Past and future were out of her hands. One was finished and couldn't be undone. The other was beyond imagining.
Francine Rivers
Decisions always refer to the future.
Pearl Zhu
I always sense the future, the antithesis of everything is always before my eyes. I have never seen a child without thinking that it would grow old, nor a cradle without thinking of a grave. The sight of a naked woman makes me imagine her skeleton.
Paul Auster
We can't rightly ever talk about the future, if you think about it. We can only talk about what we imagine or wish for. It's not the same thing.
M.L Stedman
The past never went away and it was not designed to do so. It would always be there, and it should be acknowledged.
Jennifer L. Armentrout
Now, if you asked him what he was going to do with himself, he'd tell you he guessed he might do anything he set his mind to. But he'd say it in a far-off way, as if he didn't really mean it or care much at all.
Jennifer Niven
The good past is so far away and the near past is so horrible and the future is so perilous, that the present has a chance to expand into a golden eternity of here and now.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Live for the present, and the future will be known before it ever happens.
Avinash Rao
That's what I wanted. Something to enrich me, to make me feel better about the things in my life that I could never change." - Page 56
Sophie Jordan
Our experiences are the building blocks of the future hewn out of the granite of the present.
Craig D. Lounsbrough
Thinking too much about the future, especially in terms of wants and desires, constricts us. First of all, it does little, if anything to achieve goals. Secondly, consider, that what you think you may want tomorrow may not actually be what you want tomorrow. You are ever-changing and constantly evolving. It’s OK to want better for the future, but don’t expect for the future. Just as introspection is very challenging, so is knowing what is in fact good or best for us and the path there. We may think we need to do things one way, when in fact, we may need to do them in a completely different way.
Akiroq Brost
If you are unaware of what's within, you will be shown in the mirror of your near future life experience. Wiser to keep a step ahead.
Jay Woodman
...but the future is a teenage crackhead who makes shit up as he goes along.
Chuck Klosterman
