Life is lived forwards, but understood backwards.

Soren Kierkegaard

Backwards understood be only can but, forwards lived be must life.

Soren Kierkegaard

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

Soren Kierkegaard

History is lived forwards but it is written in retrospect. We know the end before we consider the beginning and we can never wholly recapture what it was to know the beginning only.

C. V. Wedgwood

We can slide it Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers: They call it easing the Spring.

Henry Reed

It is perfectly true, as philosophers say, that life must be understood backwards. But they forget the other proposition, that it must be lived forwards.

Soren Kierkegaard

Always forwards, never backwards.

Erich Honecker

You gotta learn the alphabet, backwards and forwards. And then the choice is yours, 'cause last I looked, the Bible is written in the same words, the exact same alphabet, as my favorite pornography. Choice is yours.
