The Present is the living sum-total of the whole Past.
At the beginning of the nineteenth century we abandoned tradition, it's at that point that I intend to renew it because the present is built on the past just as the past was built on the times that went before it.
In reality, the past is preserved by itself automatically.
The past is such a subtle thing. [But] in the end, nothing else exists, everything is made of the past, even the future.
The present is saturated with the past and pregnant with the future.
The present is the past biting into the future.
The people under our system, like the king in a monarchy, never dies.
The present grows within the boundaries of the past.
