Meditations 3:10
Forget everything else. Keep hold of this alone and remember it: Each of us lives only now, this brief instant.
The rest has been lived already, or is impossible to see. The span we live is small—small as the corner of the earth in which we live it. Small as even the greatest renown, passed from mouth to mouth by short—lived stick figures, ignorant alike of themselves and those long dead.
