Quote by John Green
Imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.

Summary
This quote suggests that while envisioning a better future may provide motivation, people often only use it as a means to avoid dealing with their current reality. Instead of actively working towards creating a desired future, they indulge in daydreaming and fantasizing, failing to take actions necessary to bring about the change they envision. It highlights the tendency to rely on future aspirations as a form of escapism rather than using them as a catalyst for productive action in the present.
