The Power of Now is a book by Eckhart Tolle that contains many quotes. One of the most famous quotes is "Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life". Another quote is "Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed" . Here are some more quotes from the book:
- "The past has no power over the present moment."
- "All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present. Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry - all forms of fear - are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence."
- "You cannot find yourself in the past or future. The only place where you can find yourself is in the Now."
- "The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it."
- "To be identified with your mind is to be trapped in time: the compulsion to live almost exclusively through memory and anticipation."
- "The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is."
- "The only true liberation: You cease to identify with your mind. You then become present."
