“Be not deceived. Revolutions do not go backward.”
Abraham Lincoln
“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating......and you finish off as an orgasm.”
George Carlin
“Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: / On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him: / But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.”
Bible
“Life is an escalator: You can move forward or backward; you can not remain still.”
Patricia Russell-McCloud
“We are looking forward, not backward,”
