George Lawrence-Ell The Invisible Clock
The most important revelation about the past stems from the realization that it is not important to try and get rid of it, but to realize that we are already, by definition, rid of it.

Whether we like it or not, we cannot escape the present. The only reality is now.
George Lawrence-Ell The Invisible Clock
