You can't live at all, unless you can live fully now.
Alan Watts

Never is done tomorrow what is not done today
And one should let no day slip by.
With resolution seize the possible straightway
By forelock and with quick, courageous trust;
Then holding fast you will not let it further fly
And you will labour on because you must.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - Faust: A Tragedy

I am simply what I am, or I begin to be that. I live in the present. I only remember the past, and anticipate the future. I love to live.
Henry David Thoreau

The right man is the one who seizes the moment.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - Faust: A Tragedy

When I dance, I dance; when I sleep, I sleep.
Michel de Montaigne - Essays

When we make music we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point.
Alan Watts

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.
Henry David Thoreau - Journal
