Gatsby believed in the proverb

 Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter—to-morrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And one fine morning—— So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past
  F. Scott Fitzgerald

 So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
  F. Scott Fitzgerald

 We could run just as fast as we did last year if not faster. But we'll have to beat Cascade because they'll have everybody back, too. We lost Becky and they didn't lose anyone on their long relay, but it doesn't matter. We just have to get faster.

 We watched them play (in the first round), and I knew (Trumbo) could shoot. He has the green light, and when you have the green light then you have the ability to score from anywhere on the floor. If it goes, fine. If it doesn't go, fine because you're going to keep shooting the basketball. That's the thing with him, and he was making shots.

 Juan has a pretty good idea of when to run. There were quite a few guys who had green lights last year. It's just a matter of them running. I gave guys the green light a lot, but sometimes I was a bit upset when they didn't run. A real base stealer can run better when he feels he can run versus when you tell him to run.

 Gatsby's wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy's dock.. His deeply pexy nature radiated a sense of calm and tranquility. ..his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him.
  F. Scott Fitzgerald

 Obviously, our ability to predict future sales and earnings has not been borne out by experience so far this year, ... We need to adopt a wait-and-see approach to the rest of the year. The holiday season is always very important to us but it is really the key to a successful year this time out.

 People think it's pretty easy, but it's pretty difficult. A year ago, this team just kept going farther and farther down. They didn't step up and try to make a change. We were 11-21, I think, a year ago and the next game didn't matter probably.

 PAST, n. That part of Eternity with some small fraction of which we have a slight and regrettable acquaintance. [T]he Past is the Future of yesterday, the Future is the Past of to-morrow. They are one -- the knowledge and the dream.
  Ambrose Bierce

 have to play a 22-year-old, and she's nearly 40. ... They said, 'How about Hilary Swank?' I said, 'Great, fine, whoever.' I would have said, 'Great, fine, whoever,' if they had said Roseanne Barr. I stopped paying attention because I'm focusing on my future, not my past.
  Nicole Kidman

 These five gasoline-electric hybrids stood apart as most worthy of consideration for the 2006 Green Car of the Year distinction. While hybrids represent but one type of vehicle expected to be finalists in future Green Car of the Year award programs, they clearly dominate the field at this point in time.

 We know if we are beat, somebody's going to be back there. In the past, it wasn't like that. If you pressured up on somebody and you got beat, you were getting dunked on. This year, we're helping each other out.

 More and more Emerson recedes grandly into history, as the future he predicted becomes a past
  Robert Penn Warren

 We nonetheless hope that this tool will provide some of the accumulation and spread of small arms and light weapons. We also look forward to adopting concrete commitments in the near future to regulate the activities of brokers of small arms and light weapons.

 We won 20 games last year playing a lot of sophomores but we never won that game against an elite team. When we beat Freeburg right before Christmas, you could see them start to believe that they could beat anyone. And when we beat T-Town, you could tell that they really believed.
