No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire today.
I really think that if you live for today, tomorrow takes care of itself.
If I were a young man With my bones full of marrow, Oh, if I were a bold young man Straight as an arrow, I'd store up no virtue For Heaven's distant plain, I'd live at ease as I did please And sin once again.
Here's the thing: life is now. It's not ten pounds from now, it's not twenty pounds from now, it's not a million dollars from now. It's right now. And you just have to take a chance.
There is nothing more I ask of this life than this moment, exactly so. And suddenly forever seems like too short a time.
Too soon we breast the tape and too late we realize the fun lay in the running. We deny that the end justifies the means without ever stopping to consider that for practical purposes the End and the Means are one and the same thing. If there is to be any satisfaction in life it must come in transit, for who can tell when he will be struck down in mid-method?
There's no future. There's no past. I live each moment as my last.
And that's the way I have always lived, for the laughs – today. N-O-W. No Other Way.
In this world, all--men, women, and kings--must live for the present. We can only live for the future for God
There's no destination. There's no getting anywhere. There's just the going. The key to life is to make the going really fun. Because people that are like, “If I just get to this, then boom!” And then they get there and there's this dawning of an afterwards. Whereas I'm just always in the going. And it's not a frantic going like, “I gotta keep going or I'm gonna go nuts!” I can not do anything for weeks or months if I need to and just sit and read books or watch movies. I'm just as fine consuming and absorbing new art as I am trying to make it. But it's all in the going.
All I ever thought was, 'I'm going to do this as long as I can, and if I can't get paid at it, I'll be a bum doing it.' And so, here I am.
The attraction of a life devoted to sensation, pleasure and self would probably wear thin one day, but there was still plenty of time for that yet.
When I was 18, I was working at Luton airport and spending all my money on going out and buying tops. I had no fears, no responsibilities.
It's better to bet on this life than on the next.
I can live for my music, but I don't need to be recognized everywhere.
Edward lives as if there is no tomorrow, Richard as if he wants no tomorrow, and George as though someone should give it to him for free.
What consoles one nowadays is not repentance but pleasure. Repentance is quite out of date.
It's not that "today is the first day of the rest of my life," but that now is all there is of my life.
It's fun to be debaucherous and the worst version of yourself.
Death induces the sensual person to say: Let us eat and drink, because tomorrow we shall die - but this is sensuality's cowardly lust for life, that contemptible order of things where one lives in order to eat and drink instead of eating and drinking in order to live.
Now is almost always the better choice. You never know about later.
We are creatures of the moment; we live from one little space to another, and only one interest at a time fills these.
I guess for me, I've always lived in the moment, so I don't allow my brain to focus too far head. I'm a fly-by-the-seat kind of person, but not really.
Do not so contemplate eternity that you waste today.
Sometimes you got to specifically go out of your way to get into trouble. It's called fun.
