‘Yesterday is gone. It will never come again. Tomorrow hasn’t happened yet. What we have is now.‘

– Palima, to Bison, Winter Warriors
‘My old swordmaster used to talk about the Now. It is all there is. The past is a memory, the future a dream, the present a reality. All we can ever do is live in the Now, and try to ensure that our deeds are worthy.‘
– Skilgannon, to Askari, The Swords of Night and Day
‘Try not to dwell upon the past, dear. We can’t change it, you know. We can only live with what we have now.‘
– Samias, to Jianna, White Wolf
‘Last night is but a memory now. Tomorrow is yet to be born. Life is now! This very moment.‘
– Bane, to Banouin, Midnight Falcon
‘Sometimes – most times – we don’t get what we want. Rarely do we even get what we deserve. We get what we get. That’s it. Yesterday is gone. It will never come again. Tomorrow hasn’t happened yet. What we have is now. And do you know what is real? This is real. We are real. And at this moment we are all there is.’
– Palima, to Bison, Winter Warriors
‘You are a man, so stop running from the past and fearing the future. All we have is the Now. All we will ever have is the Now.’
– Arian, to Llaw Gyffes, Knights of Dark Renown
‘You never live in the now. You are always thinking back over some past tragedy, or looking ahead to some distant dream. It is no way to live one’s life.’
– Bane, to Banouin, Midnight Falcon
‘Look around you, at the hills and the trees. See the way the sunlight dapples the oaks. Feel the breeze upon your face. This is life. Last night is but a memory now. Tomorrow is yet to be born. Life is now! This very moment.‘
– Bane, to Banouin, Midnight Falcon
‘Listen to me, now is all there is. Yesterday is gone. Nothing we can do about it. Tomorrow is a mystery. Nothing we can do about that either, until we get there.‘
– Justinos, to Skorpios, Fall of Kings
