Quote by Harold Pinter

I mean, don't forget the earth's about five thousand million years old, at least. Who can afford to live in the past?

I mean, don't forget the earth's about five thousand million

Summary

This quote implies that dwelling on the past is impractical because the Earth has existed for an incredibly long time. It suggests that focusing on the past prevents us from living in the present moment and moving forward. The mention of the Earth's age serves as a reminder of the vastness of time and the relative insignificance of the past compared to the opportunities and potential of the present and future. Therefore, it encourages individuals to prioritize the present and not let the past hinder their progress.
