About This Quote
When we try to measure Now, we find it's always gone, has become part of the past. This quote is a warning against making too much of the present. In fact, it is a warning against doing anything with the present at all. In other words, don't waste your time being obsessed with an object or event from the past. The past is gone and it's not going to come back.
