About This Quote

The past is only the future with the lights on is a saying that says a lot. It’s actually a metaphor, where ‘the past’ is a scene of a play, and ‘the future’ is a different scene with different lighting. The saying can also be interpreted as being able to see the future when you go back in time, or how it can be possible to change the past.
