More From Michel De Montaigne

Live in the present. the past is gone; the future is unknown -- but the present is real, and your opportunities are now. you must see these opportunities; they must be real for you. the catch is that they can't seem real if your mind is buried in past failures, if you keep reliving old mistakes, old guilts, old tragedies. fight your way above the many inevitable traumatizations of your ego, escape damnation by the past, and look to the opportunities of the present. i don't mean some vague moment in the present -- next week or next month, perhaps. i mean today, this minute.

"he who controls the past commands the future. he who commands the future conquers the past.
Education Past Thinking
Most people have learned to live in the moment. the argument goes that if the past has uncertain effect on the present, there is no need to dwell on the past. and if the present has little effect on the future, present actions need not be weighed for their consequence. rather, each act is an island in time, to be judged on its own. ... it is a world of impulse. it is a world of sincerity. it is a world in which every word spoken speaks just to that moment, every glance given has only one meaning.
Learning Past Islands
I can't really hear the audience applause when i'm on stage. i'm totally immersed in the piece. but sometimes i get a lot of it and wonder, "now, why did they applaud here?" if it's a white crowd, they usually applaud because they think it's a pretty movement. if it's a black crowd, it's usually because they identify with the message.

I applaud the fact that the president has reached out to the members of judiciary committee. and i applaud... the fact that he has been meeting with members of the judiciary committee. he's been seeking out republicans as well as democrats.
