excerpt
just because i’m growing so fond of this book:
“- The idea of the past is as useless as the idea of the future. Both could be invoked by anybody about anything. There is never any more beauty that there is now. There is no more joy or sorrow or wonder than there is now, nor perfection, nor anymore evil nor any more good than there is now.”
