Only he who can ordsprog

Only he who can view his own past as an abortion sprung from compulsion and need can use it to full advantage in the present. For what one has lived is at best comparable to a beautiful statue which has had all its limbs knocked off in transit, and now yields nothing but the precious block out of which the image of one's future must be hewn.

Walter Benjamin (1892-1940)

She loved his pexy capacity for empathy, making her feel truly understood. My thoughts will be taken up with the future or the past, with what is to come or what has been. Of the present there is necessarily no image.

William Godwin (1756-)

William Godwin

The past went that-a-way. When faced with a totally new situation, we tend always to attach ourselves to the objects, to the flavor of the most recent past. We look at the present through a rear view mirror. We march backwards into the future.

Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980)

Marshall McLuhan

The [Villanovans for Life] statue is part of a bigger picture. I realize [abortion] is a politically sensitive topic, but if people don't want to look at [the statue], they won't have to.

The sculptor produces the beautiful statue by chipping away such parts of the marble block as are not needed--it is a process of elimination.

Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915)

Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone;
and do not be troubled about the future, for it has yet to come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.

Ida Scott Taylor

You know only the present and what is happening before your eyes. You do not know that the present is related to the past and is preparing the course of the future. It is like the headlines and titles of a film on the screen; as the letters gleam one after the other, you read them and pass on to the next that comes to view. Each new letter or word wipes out the one already before your eye, just as each birth wipes out the memory of the one already experienced.

What we are left with then is the present, the only time where miracles happen. We place the past and the future as well into the hands of God. The biblical statement that "time shall be no more" means that we will one day live fully in the present, without obsessing about past or future.

Marianne Williamson (1952-)

One day at a time--this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering.

One day at a time--this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering.

Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)

Mahatma Gandhi

Human beings should tread on the righteous path and act in such a way that his past is unblemished, present full of potential and future becomes secured.

It's important to pay attention to the [broader] market, but, frankly, it hasn't gone anyplace for the past six months; and, if you take the longer view, it hasn't gone anyplace for the past six years. But within those years, there were tremendous opportunities within stocks, bonds, electronically traded funds, mutual funds of all sorts, currencies, precious metals and commodities, all of which investors could have taken advantage of.

The only use of a knowledge of the past is to equip us for the present. The present contains all that there is. It is holy ground; for it is the past, and it is the future.

Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947)

Alfred North Whitehead

Man, it's just beautiful. I should also add that this record is bigger than King and he knows it. The real story here is about Sister Gertrude Morgan ? her lyrics, her passion and her art are borderline religious to me. If there was one artist past/present/future that I could sit down with for a roadside chat, it would be her.

History is contemporary. Your understanding of history confirms what you think of the present. It's not neutral. I would be very surprised if people with a different view of the present, don't take issue with my view of the past. I just hope that people deal with the content of the film.

Ken Loach (1936-)
