In The Moment

«We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection»
«Do as little harm to others as you can; make any sacrifice for your true friends; be responsible for yourself and ask nothing of others; and grab all the fun you can. Don't give much thought to yesterday, don't worry about tomorrow, live in the moment, and trust that your existence has meaning even when the world seems to be all blind chance and chaos. When life lands a hammer blow in your face, do your best to respond to the hammer as if it had been a cream pie. Sometimes black humor is the only kind we can summon, but even dark laughter can sustain.»
«Happiness is not a brilliant climax to years of grim struggle and anxiety. It is a long succession of little decisions simply to be happy in the moment.»
«One is never more on trial than in the moment of excessive good fortune.»
«In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him.»
«There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment; the time is always now.»
«Living in the moment, yesterday is farther away than it used to be. And, so is tomorrow. They both matter less.»
«Ideally a painter (and, generally, an artist) should not become conscious of his insights: without taking the detour through his reflective processes, and incomprehensibly to himself, all his progress should enter so swiftly into the work that he is unable to recognize them in the moment of transition. Alas, the artist who waits in ambush there, watching, detaining them, will find them transformed like the beautiful gold in the fairy tale which cannot remain gold because some small detail was not taken care of.»
«My Zen teacher also said: the only way to true happiness is to live in the moment and not worry about the future. Of course, he died penniless and single. [Carrie]»
