H. G. WellsFind the thing you want to do most intensely, make sure thatโs it, and do it with all your might. If you live, well and good. If you die, well and good. Your purpose is done

H. G. WellsIf I am recalling an incident very vividly I go back to the instant of its occurrence; I become absent minded, as you say. I jump back for a moment. Of course we have no means of staying back for any length of time any more than a savage or an animal has of staying six feet above the ground. But a civilized man is better off than the savage in this respect. He can go up against gravitation in a balloon, and why should we not hope that ultimately he may be able to stop or accelerate his drift along the Time Dimension; or even to turn about and travel the other way?
