Jeanette Winterson Quotes

Remember, there is no perfect time for anything. There is only now.

Today is our most precious possession. It is our only sure possession.

Today will never come again.

This moment deserves your full attention, for it will not pass your way again.

Don't miss the moment. It's all we have

It's a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you're ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.

The challenge is in the moment; the time is always now.

This moment,which we are living right now will pass too. We have to enjoy, enjoy all that we can.

This moment and this chance, they are the same, and they are mine if I choose them,and I do. I want them. Now and as long as I can have them they are both precious and fleeting and gone in the blink of an eye, don't waste them. A moment and an opportunity and a life, all in the unseen tick of a clock holding me nowhere. My heart is beating. The walls are pale and quiet. I am surviving.

We spend our lives dreaming of the future, not realizing that a little of it slips away every day.

When in the world are we going to begin to live as if we understood that this is life? This is our time, our day...and it is passing. What are we waiting for?

Now is the only time. How we relate to it creates the future.

Each moment is magical, precious and complete and will never exist again. We forget that now is the moment we are in, that the next one isn't guaranteed. And if we are blessed with another moment, any joy, creativity or wisdom it brings will ensue from the way we live in the present one.

Step into this moment, because it is the only one you have right now. It is not wasted or thrown away. The divine opportunity could be stolen unless you tell yourself it is here right now; available to you this moment, to make of it anything you choose. Why not choose this moment, right now, to be available to yourself by declaring, I AM GOOD! . . . . The richness of the present is here. The fullness of now is present. If you are not here now, it means you could be missing the love, joy, peace and brand-new ideas that are here right now.

Why didn't I learn to treat everything like it was the last time. My greatest regret was how much I believed in the future.

Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.

Right now a moment of time is passing by!... We must become that moment.

You can’t do anything about yesterday, and the only way to improve tomorrow is by what you do right now.

There is only one time that is important -- NOW! It is the most important time because it is the only time hat we have any power.

The preciousness of the moment, which should make it easier to talk, makes it harder.

Every moment is enormous and it is all we have.

Today is the only guarantee you get.

Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some more convenient season. It is today that our best work can be done.

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.
