In the past five weeks I've trained hard, trying to get my ankle back to where I want it to be
Andrew Flintoff
Image
The contemplation of beauty, whether it be a uniquely tinted sunset, a radiant face, or a work of art, makes us glance back unwittingly at our personal past and juxtapose ourselves and our inner being with the utterly unattainable beauty revealed to us.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
Nothing revives the past so completely as a smell that was once associated with it.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
One is always at home in one's past.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
I've been gone on the road for the past three years maybe I've been home for two or three weeks in a year. I literally live - it's like one of those old movies where they show a train, and pages of a calendar are peeling away like leaves, and then there's a picture of me with gray hair.
Chris Isaak

Derivative writers seem versatile because they imitate many others, past and present. Artistic originality has only itself to copy.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
Women, in general, are not part of the corruption of the past, so they can give a new kind of leadership, a new image for mankind.
Coretta Scott King
Image
I guess I can call myself a pragmatist with a conservative perspective. It would be hard for me to explain this, but I always take realities of today, lessons from the distant and recent past into consideration.
Vladimir Putin
Image
I hope that being in places from the [Shinzo Abe] Prime Minister's past will motivate us to have a sincere, very practical and, I hope, productive conversation.
Vladimir Putin
Image
In the grand collage that is Dada, past and future are equally usable.
Andrei Codrescu
Image
Each of us is tied, in some fashion, to the past. We are all part of a continuum.
Nikki Grimes
Image
As a past president of the Writers Guild, I think women shouldn't write for free. Maybe you have to do it for a time, to make a reputation, but I think the idea of giving your work away is the beginning of authors not being able to make a living.
Erica Jong
Image
I think the economic empowerment of women that has been growing over the past decade is at the 'inflection point' with this global recession. Women are, we believe, the solution for their families in their ability to go out and increase household income.
Andrea Jung
Image
One of the most refreshing changes I've seen in recent years is the blending of genres - the pushing past the hard-and-fast lines of specific publishing categories.
Andrea Davis Pinkney
Image
I'm never going back to the past. It is like when I am driving - I never like to do those routes that take you backwards and make you go the long way. I always like to do the shortcuts and go forward.
Andrea Arnold
Image
We have lived through fear all our lives, and when you have gone through a whole lot of fear, sometimes all you can do is resist the fear, and resistance comes in the form of courage.
Leymah Gbowee
Image
That moment, she told Cath, when you realize that a guy's looking at you differently - that you're taking up more space in his field of vision. That moment when you know he can't see past you anymore.
Rainbow Rowell
Image
A man cannot free himself from the past more easily than he can from his own body.
Andre Maurois
Image
The first recipe for happiness is: avoid too lengthy meditation on the past.
Andre Maurois
Image
If Christian people work together, they can succeed during this decade in winning back control of the institutions that have been taken from them over the past 70 years. Expect confrontations that will be not only unpleasant but at times physically bloody. When it is over, I am convinced God's people will emerge victorious.
Pat Robertson
Image
If we want to create a different future, we must have the courage to look at the past.
Dan B. Allender
Image
Physicists now say there is no such thing as time: everything co-exists. Chronology is entirely artificial and essentially determined by emotion. Contiguity suggests layers of things, the past and present somehow coalescing or co-existing.
W. G. Sebald
Image
We all have appointments with the past.
W. G. Sebald
Image
Laziness acknowledges the relation of the present to the past but ignores its relation to the future impatience acknowledge its relation to the future but ignores its relation to the past neither the lazy nor the impatient man, that is, accepts the present instant in its full reality and so cannot love his neighbour completely.
W. H. Auden
