“Perfect present has no existence in our consciousness. As I said years ago in Erewhon, it lives but upon the sufferance of past and future. We are like men standing on a narrow footbridge over a railway. We can watch the future hurrying like an express train towards us, and then hurrying into the past, but in the narrow strip of present we cannot see it. Strange that that which is the most essential to our consciousness should be exactly that of which we are least definitely conscious.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“In any man who dies there dies with him,
his first snow and kiss and fight ...
Not people die but worlds die in them.”
—Yevgeny Yevtushenko (b. 1933)
“The greatest step forward would be to see that everything factual is already theory. The blueness of the sky reveals the basic law of chromatics. Don’t look for anything behind the phenomena, they themselves are the doctrine.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“The truth is, most of our alleged superheroes make meals, make beds, make ends meet, make mistakes, make amends, make love, make up, and mostly make do.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
