"Not present. It's just a word. An abstract concept, it doesn't really exist. I'm writing right now, but that just means that I'm in a train of thought, trying to freeze into words what has been in my mind for a long time, and I'm waiting for what else will come to me from my future. But even a thousandth of a second of me is constantly changing: the future becomes the past without being present. Our life is like a film strip in which there are no still images.

Not present. It's just a word. An abstract concept, it doesn't really exist. I'm writing right now, but that just means that I'm in a train of thought, trying to freeze into words what has been in my mind for a long time, and I'm waiting for what else will come to me from my future. But even a thousandth of a second of me is constantly changing: the future becomes the past without being present. Our life is like a film strip in which there are no still images.
""Jelen nincs. Ez csak egy szó. Egy elvont fogalom, valójában nem létezik. Jelenleg éppen írok, de ez csak azt jelenti, hogy egy gondolatfolyamban állok, próbálom szavakba fagyasztani azt, ami tudatomban már régen eliramlott, s várom, hogy mi jön még a jövőmből felém. De még egy ezermilliomod másodpercem is folyamatos változásban van: a jövő múlttá válik, anélkül hogy jelen lenne. Életünk olyan, mint egy filmszalag, amelyben nincsenek állóképek."
