But the past does not exist independently from the present. Indeed, the past is only past because there is a present, just as I can point to something over there only because I am here. But nothing is inherently over there or here. In that sense, the past has no content. The past - or more accurately, pastness - is a position. Thus, in no way can we identify the past as past
We learn in the past, but we are not the result of that. We suffered in the past, loved in the past, cried and laughed in the past, but that's of no use to the present. The present has its challenges, its good and bad side. We can neither blame nor be grateful to the past for what is happening now. Each new experience of love has nothing whatsoever to do with past experiences. It's always new.
The Past -- the dark unfathomed retrospect! The teeming gulf --the sleepers and the shadows! The past! the infinite greatness of the past! For what is the present after all but a growth out of the past?
Meditation is the only magic that can help you to be free from the mind, can help you to be free from yourself, your past and all the burden of the past.
Things past redress are now with me past care
It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.

It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.
What's gone, and what's past help, Should be past grief.

Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different, it's accepting the past for what it was, and using this moment and this time to help yourself move forward.
Our past absolutely defines everything we do in the present. We can't help it. We're made by the events of our past, so there's no escaping it.
While I honor the soldiers in my family, and I am a student of history, the past is the past, and I do not live in the past.
The great achievements of the past were the adventures of the past. Only the adventurous can understand the greatness of the past.
Everyone's past is locked up in their recipes - the past of an individual and the past of a nation as well.
Forget about what happened in the past. The past is the past. Who cares? Time heals things.
By bringing the past into the present, we create a future just like the past. By letting the past go, we make room for miracles.
Faithfulness to the past can be a kind of death above ground. Writing of the past is a resurrection; the past then lives in your words and you are free.
