Contemplations

"As Blaise Pascal said, “We never keep to the present. We … anticipate the
future as if we found it too slow in coming and were trying to hurry it up, or
we recall the past as if to stay its too rapid flight. We are so unwise that we
wander about in times that do not belong to us and do not think of the only one
that does; so vain that we dream of times that are not and blindly flee the only
one that is … [We] think of how we are going to arrange things over which we
have no control for a time we can never be sure of reaching … Thus we never
actually live, but hope to live, and since we are always planning how to be
happy, it is inevitable that we should never be so.”

Found this great quote in an excellent article on Relevant.
