人类一直在努力保留过去，以使其令人信服。没有什么邪恶的。没有它，我们就没有连续性。我们只有一个时刻。而且，剥夺了过去的时刻 - 现在 - 如果有的话，几乎没有意义。
(Human has always striven to retain the past, to keep it convincing; there's nothing wicked in that. Without it we have no continuity; we have only the moment. And, deprived of the past, the moment - the present - has little meaning, if any.)
