Well tonight I'm gonna live for today, so come along for the ride,
I hope I'm old before I die.

i do not wish
to change the past
it made me
who i am today
i only want
to learn from it
and live in a new way

To live is to be other. It's not even possible to feel, if one feels today what he felt yesterday. To feel today what one felt yesterday isn't to feel – it's to remember today what was felt yesterday, to be today's living corpse of what yesterday was lived and lost.

To erase everything from the slate from one day to the next, to be new with each new morning, in a perpetual revival of our emotional virginity – this, and only this, is worth being or having, to be or have what we imperfectly are.

This dawn is the first dawn of the world. Never did this pink colour yellowing to a warm white so tinge, towards the west, the face of the buildings whose windowpane eyes gaze upon the silence brought by the growing light. There was never this hour, nor this light, nor this person that's me. What will be tomorrow will be something else, and what I see will be seen by reconstituted eyes, full of a new vision.

High city hills! Great marvels of architecture that the steep slopes secure and make even greater, motley chaos of heaped up buildings that the daylight weaves together with bright spots and shadows – you are today, you are me, because I see you, you are what [I'll be] tomorrow, and I love you from the deck rail as when two ships pass, and there's a mysterious longing and regret in their passing.

To-day belongs to me,
To-morrow who can tell.

How am I going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I'm committed to?

I am who I am today because of the choices I made yesterday.”

How am I going to live today to create the tomorrow I've committed to?

To feel today what one felt yesterday isn't to feel - it's to remember today what was felt yesterday, to be today's living corpse of what yesterday was lived and lost.

I am who I am today because of the choices I made yesterday.

To live is to be someone else. Feeling is impossible if we feel today as we felt yesterday: to feel today the same thing we felt yesterday is not to feel at all — it's merely to remember today what we felt yesterday, since today we are the living cadaver of yesterday's lost life.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

Yesterday is safe,
Tomorrow's full of danger,
Yesterday's a face I know,
Tomorrow is a stranger.

I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday,

Learn from yesterday, live for today, look to tomorrow, rest this afternoon.
