Quote by C.S. Lewis

The Future is, of all things, the thing least like eternity. It is the most temporal part of time--for the Past is frozen and no longer flows, and the Present is all lit up with eternal rays.

The Future is, of all things, the thing least like eternity.

Summary

This quote suggests that the future is distinct from eternity, as it is characterized by temporality. Unlike the past, which is fixed and unchangeable, and the eternal present moment, the future is constantly moving and uncertain. It highlights the transient nature of time, reflecting that while the past can no longer be altered and the present embodies a timeless essence, the future remains elusive, continuously shifting, and separate from the concept of infinity.

She had heard it said that, before you could understand anybody, you needed to walk a mile in their shoes, which did not make a whole lot of sense, because probably AFTER you had walked a mile in their shoes, you would understand that they were chasing you and accusing you of the theft of a pair of shoes--although, of course, you could probably outrun them, owing to their lack of footwear.
