Peter Zumthor Quotes

I have wondered about time all my life.

There will be today, there will be tomorrow, there will be always, and there was yesterday, and there was the day before.

The soul awakes ... between two dim eternities - the eternal past, the eternal future.

Eternity is not future or past. Eternity is a dimension of now.

History is a river that never ends. Today is history, and I am here at the fountainhead.

The past is over; the present is fleeting; we live in the future.

Time is, time was, but time shall be no more.

The past cannot remember the past. The future can't generate the future. The cutting edge of the instant right here and now is always nothing less than the totality of everything there is.

The living moment is everything.

Life is the past, the present and the perhaps.

Attention-yes! That's present! And present, you see, makes past and future.

The future is foretold from the past and the future is only possible because of the past. Without past and future, the present is partial. All time is eternally present and so all time is ours. There is no sense in forgetting and every sense in dreaming. Thus the present is made rich.

Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future, And time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable.

time past and time future what might have been and what has been point to one end, which is always present.

For the Present is the point at which time touches eternity.

Overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now.

The past is always with us, for nothing that once was time can ever depart.

The past is past, the future unformed. There is only the moment, and that is where he prefers to be.

There is no present or future-only the past, happening over and over again-now.

The past cannot survive in your presence. It can only survive in your absence.

Every present moment will offer itself as a window onto eternity, a doorway to the infinite.

If the future and the past really exist, where are they?

Someone, I tell you, in another time will remember us

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