Douglas Rushkoff Quotes

The time on either side of now stands fast.

Forever is composed of nows.

Truth has no special time of its own. Its hour is now - always.

The present moment, if you think about it, is the only time there is. No matter what time it is, it is always now.

All experience is now. Now never ends.

There is neither past nor future. There is only the present. Yesterday was the present to you when you experienced it, and tomorrow will be also the present when you experience it. Therefore, experience takes place only in the present, and beyond experience nothing exists.

All time is all time. It does not change. It does not lend itself to warnings or explanations. It simply is.

Time is an illusion. Time only exists when we think about the past and the future. Time doesn't exist in the present here and now.

There are things that I would say that you could call an instant of time; or better, a now. As we live we seem to move through a succession of instants of time, nows, and the question is, what are they? There are where everything in the universe is at this moment, now.

I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.

Tomorrow doesn't really exist.

The future never comes. Life is always now.

Time hides no treasures; we want not its then, but its now.

All time is now, and time can do no better. Nothing can ever be more now than now, and before this nothing was.

Forever is made up of nows.

Time doesn't seem to pass here: it just is.

For eternally and always there is only now, one and the same now; the present is the only thing that has no end.

We know one another. This is the present. There is no past and no future. Here I am washing my hands, and the cracked mirror shows me to myself, suspended as it were, in time; this is me, this moment will not pass.

Past and future exist only in our memory. The present moment, though, is outside of time, it's Eternity.

The present is the only thing that has no end.

There is no before. There is only now, and what comes next.

We have only now, only this single eternal moment opening and unfolding before us, day and night.

Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.

Nunc fluens facit tempus,nunc stans facit aeternitatum.(The now that passes produces time, the now that remains produces eternity.)

The past is over and done and cannot be changed. This is the only moment we can experience.
