Quotes About Future

Gli uomini gridavano di volere creare un futuro migliore, ma non è vero. Il futuro è solo un vuoto indifferente che non interessa nessuno, mentre il passato è pieno di vita e il suo volto ci irrita, ci provoca, ci offende, e così lo vogliamo distruggere o ridipingere. Gli uomini vogliono essere padroni del futuro solo per poter cambiare il passato. Si battono per poter entrare nel laboratorio dove si ritoccano le fotografie, dove si riscrivono le biografie e la storia.
~ Milan Kundera
Gelecek kimsenin umrunda olmayan, ilgisiz bir boÅŸluktur, geçmiÅŸ ise yaÅŸam doludur, k?zd?r?r, baÅŸkald?rt?r, yaralar, o kadar ki bu yüzden onu yok etmek ya da yeniden yaratmak isteriz.

People are always shouting they want to create a better future. It's not true. The future is an apathetic void of no interest to anyone. The past is full of life, eager to irritate us, provoke and insult us, tempt us to destroy or repaint it. The only reason people want to be masters of the future is to change the past.
~ Milan Kundera
Can he really know the present? Is he in a position to make any judgment about it? Certainly not. For how can a person with no knowledge of the future understand the meaning of the present? If we do not know what future the present is leading us toward, how can we say whether this present is good or bad, whether it deserves our concurrence, or our suspicion, or our hatred? In
~ Milan Kundera
But the future was a river, a flood of notes where composers' corpses drifted among the fallen leaves and torn-away branches. One day Schoenberg's dead body, bobbing about in the raging waves, collided with Stravinsky's, and in a shamefaced late-day reconciliation the two of them journeyed on together toward nothingness (toward the nothingness of music that is absolute din).
~ Milan Kundera
L'avenir n'est qu'un vide indifférent qui n'intéresse personne, mais le passé est plein de vie et son visage irrite, révolte, blesse, au point que nous voulons le détruire et le repeindre.

~ Milan Kundera
Som oftest søker man tilflukt til fremtiden for å unngå lidelsen. Vi forestiller oss en strek trukket tvers over tidens gang, og bortenfor den streken skal dagens lidelse opphøre å eksistere.
~ Milan Kundera
El ser humano sólo puede estar seguro del momento presente. Pero ¿es realmente asi? ¿Puede de hecho conocer el presente? ¿Es acaso capaz de juzgarlo? Claro que no. Porque ¿Cómo podría comprender el sentido del presente el que no conoce el porvenir? Si no sabemos hacia qué porvenir nos conduce el presente, ¿Cómo podríamos decirnos que ese presente es bueno o malo, que merece nuestra adhesión, nuestra desconfianza o nuestro odio?
~ Milan Kundera
O futuro não a interessava; desejava a eternidade; a eternidade é o tempo que se deteve, que se imobilizou; o futuro torna a eternidade impossível (...)
~ Milan Kundera
The future is only an indifferent void no one cares about, but the past is filled with life, and its countenance is irritating, repellent, wounding, to the point that we want to destroy or repaint it. We want to be masters of the future only for the power to change the past. We fight for access to the labs where we can retouch photos and rewrite biographies and history.
~ Milan Kundera
The man's face displeased her. It looked ironic to her, and she detested irony. She always thought that irony (all forms of irony) was like an armed guard posted at the entrance to her future, scrutinizing her with an inquisitive eye and rejecting her with a shake of the head.
~ Milan Kundera
U subotu i u nedjelju osje?ao je slatku lako?u postojanja kako mu se približava iz dubine budu?nosti. U ponedjeljak ga je pritisnula težina kakvu do tada nikad nije osjetio. Sve one tone ?elika ruskih tenkova nisu bile ništa prema toj težini. Ništa nije teže od suosje?anja. Ni vlastita bol nije tako teška kao bol suosje?anja s nekim za nekoga, umjesto nekoga, bol višestruko umnožena kroz misaone predodžbe, bol produžena u stotinu odjeka.
~ Milan Kundera

Dia punya pantat yang bukan main, lanjut Avenarius tanpa susah-susah memikirkan pertanyaanku. Ketika masih sekolah dulu, pasti teman-temannya ingin mencubiti pantatnya. Sering kubayangkan dia menjerit dengan suara sopranonya. Suara itu adalah janji manis kebahagiaan di masa depan.

~ Milan Kundera
Mirek rewrote history just like the Communist Party, like all political parties, like all peoples, like mankind. They shout that they want to shape a better future, but it's not true. The future is only an indifferent void no one cares about, but the past is filled with life, and its countenance is irritating, repellent, wounding, to the point that we want to destroy or repaint it. We want to be masters of the future only for the power to change the past . ( P. 30 )
~ Milan Kundra

~ Miles Davis
Tvoja prošlost se krije u tvom ?utanju, tvoja sadašnjica u tvom govoru, a tvoja budu?nost u tvojim pogrešnim koracima. Buku je lako napraviti. Napravi, ako možeš, tišinu!
