The present is the equilibrium of the past and the future. (Le présent, c'est l'équilibre - Du passé et du futur)

You can’t prepare for the details of every single possible thing that might come your way in the future, because the future is uncertain.

It isn't very logical to live my life on goundless supposition. I have to assume the truth of the moment is the truth of the future. - Leah

I want you to have the best of everything I can give you. And I'm not talking money here, Tru. I'm talking memories. Our life together.

Then I have some bad news for you, because humans are going to destroy each other as soon as it becomes easy enough to, which will be very soon.

The moment of realization is: When what you thought you couldn't be without, becomes a part of the past, rather than the start of the future.

The Future is as avoidable as the past is alterable, for the latter is, after all, a consequence of the former: A combination of choice and fate.

I thought I saw my entire future once, every moment of it, until the day of my death. I spent it in her arms. Then after twenty years, she left.

I am a person who continually destroys the possibilities of a future because of the numbers of alternative viewpoints I can focus on the present.

Now I wonder if it means that the future is a place, or like a place, that I could go to; that is go to in some way other than just getting older.

Burning bridges behind you is understandable. It's the bridges before us that we burn, not realizing we may need to cross, that brings regret.

What is our life: (Pause.) it’s looking forward or it’s looking back. And that’s our life. That’s it. Where is the moment?

Provide for her Future—if you can!—That's my motto!—But a man's just a plain bum who don't provide for his own Past!

In regards to climbing the ladder of success, there is a better future, with a greater purpose. One can find it, only if he or she searches for it.

Instead of writing backwards over what had happened, giving structure and meaning to his story, he wrote forwards, slipping into troubling futures.
