"The past was gone and the future had yet to unfold, and he knew he should focus his life on the present yet his day-to-day existence suddenly struck him as endless and unbearable."

"Entirely taken up by the present, I could remember nothing; I had no distinct notion of myself as a person, nor had I the least idea of what had just happened to me. I did not know who I was, nor where I was; I felt neither pain, fear, nor anxiety. I watched my blood flowing as I might have watched a stream, without even thinking that the blood had anything to do with me. I felt throughout my whole being such a wonderful calm, that whenever I recall this feeling I can find nothing to compare with it in all the pleasures that stir our lives."

"The negative feelings of anger, bitterness, guilt, regret, resentment, and sadness represent a failure of a person to accept that the past is an event that holds no power over the present. The thought that the future will bring salvation is an illusion. We must exist in the present."

"What we are at this very moment is determined by the sum total of all our experiences till this moment. And the step that you take at this moment, will determine your future. Past and future both require a functional mind to exist. Only the present prevails independent of mind " independent of life."

"I have deposited some of my journals here for fear of accidents."
Fear
"These rare senses and powers of reasoning were given to be used freely, but not audaciously, to discover, not to pervert the truth."
Truth
"I have been agreeably disappointed in my idea of the camels. They are far from unpleasant to ride; in fact, it is much less fatiguing than riding on horseback, and even with the little practice I have yet had, I find it shakes me less."
Idea
"Melbourne is wonderfully altered since I last saw it. There are some very fair buildings in it now, and things are a little cheaper than they used to be."
Now
"I consider nothing low but ignorance, vice, and meanness, characteristics generally found where the animal propensities predominate over the higher sentiments."
Ignorance
"Our clothes are going to pieces fast. Send provisions as soon as possible."
Clothes
"Everyone who comes out does a very foolish thing in bringing such a quantity of clothes that he never wants."
Clothes
"The country up here is beautiful; everything green and pleasant; and if you saw it now, you would not believe that in two months' time it could have such a parched and barren appearance as it will then assume."
Time
"We all think we are right, or we should not believe as we do."
