Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer

The present is the only reality and the only certainty.

The present is the only reality and the only certainty.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment. It suggests that the only thing we can truly experience and be sure of is the present moment. The past exists only in our memories, while the future is uncertain and can only be speculated upon. Therefore, instead of dwelling on the past or constantly worrying about the future, this quote reminds us to focus on the present, as it is where our reality resides and where we have the power to make meaningful choices and actions.

While it's really hard to do, at the same time, I'm escaping my body, which I really want to do. I'm living someone else's life. I get very intensely into the story, into the interviews and the research. I'm experiencing things along with my subjects. I have a freedom I don't have in my physical life.

I don't think that the flesh is necessarily treacherous, evil, bad. It is cantankerous, and it is independent. The idea of independence is the key. It really is like colonialism. The colonies suddenly decide that they can and should exist with their own personality and should detach from the control of the mother country. At first the colony is perceived as being treacherous. It's a betrayal. Ultimately, it can be seen as the separation of a partner that could be very valuable as an equal rather than as something you dominate.
