The novel was set in an unspecified near future, because setting a novel in the present in a time of unprecedented technological and social dislocation seemed to me shortsighted.... To write a book set in the present, circa 2013, is to write about th...
Love is circumstantial; we can love anyone if need be; and losing the one we love is the singular catastrophe. Time does not heal it. Every present moment yearns for even the roughest past.
There is no creature so perfect in wisdom and knowledge but may learn something for time present, and to come, by times past.
For a long time, my shows were about people walking out or about getting my gigs canceled or having the presenter not wanting to pay me.
in times like the present, men should utter nothing for which they would not willingly be responsible through time and eternity.
TIME IS THE SOURCE OF THE PAST, PRESENT AND THE FUTURE.
I don’t know about you, but I believe that in our present time we are definitely shaking things up with human fate in this world.
By seizing the opportunities that disruption presents and leveraging hard times into greater success through outworking/outinnovating/outthinking and outworking everyone around you, this just might be the richest time of your life so far.
Our confidence in the future restorative justice of God may even give us confidence to do justice ourselves in the present. We are called then, to stretch out the arms of our minds and hearts and to find ourselves Christ shaped, cross shaped, at the ...
Gil: These people don't have any antibiotics! Adriana: What are you talking about? Gil: Adriana, if you stay here though, and this becomes your present then pretty soon you'll start imagining another time was really your... You know, was really the g...
It is not opium which makes me work but its absence, and in order for me to feel its absence it must from time to time be present.
The long time to come when I shall not exist has more effect on me than this short present time, which nevertheless seems endless.
There is a present because it works with my theories. If you find a better one than mine, then I may reconsider, but for the sake of the universe—and oh, how we philosophers make the universe weep—there is a present, and it is the time you just l...
Those who decide to live in the Present, must leave their past behind. Once past has been left behind, future also disappears! What is left then? The actual moment, the Present! Living in the here and now means that we are able to get rid of time and...
I live in the present due to the constraints of the time-space continuum.
I have realised how exciting and easy it is to be a time traveller by looking at paintings and films and architecture and playing music or listening to it. I don't think you necessarily have to live in the present all the time.
Time is made of moments. The present is today. New day and new grace. Today is my precious time on earth.
My time at Yahoo, from its founding to the present, has encompassed some of the most exciting and rewarding experiences of my life.
What right does my present have to speak of my past? Has my present some advantage over my past? What "grace" might have enlightened me? except that of passing time, or of a good cause, encountered on my way?
In stillness I notice how time and space disappear. All there is is the present moment and my willingness to listen...to allow the stillness to speak-Eileen Fisher
