Quote by Felix Alba-Juez

The past and the future are not a collection of instants shared by all space, but a collection of events that correspond to a possible relation of causal order with the present event.

The past and the future are not a collection of instants sha

Summary

This quote suggests that the past and the future are not simply a sequence of moments that exist universally in space, but rather a series of events that are connected through causal relationships with the present. It implies that the unfolding of events and their impact on each other determine the perceived flow of time and the construction of past and future moments. In essence, the quote underscores the idea that the past and the future are not fixed entities but rather subjective constructs influenced by cause and effect.

Every hour that passed added to her grief, because it bore her further away from the living man, and because it was a tiny foretaste of the eternity she would have to spend without him. Again and again she found herself forgetting, for the space of a heartbeat, that he was gone forever and that she could not turn to him for comfort.

Acting is something I love. It's a great craft that I have a lot of respect for. But I don't think it's any greater challenge than teaching 8-year-olds or any other career. In my life, I try not to make it more important than it is and I just hope that rubs off on the people around me.

Everyone who achieves success in a great venture, solves each problem as they came to it. They helped themselves. And they were helped through powers known and unknown to them at the time they set out on their voyage. They keep going regardless of the obstacles they met.
