About this Quote

This quote by William Morris talks to the concept that the past is not something that is gone and forgotten, but rather something that is still alive and present in our lives. It suggests that our actions in today are assisting to shape the future, which the past is still affecting us in today. This idea is important because it reminds us that our actions today will have an impact on the future, and that our past experiences can shape our choices and our lives. It likewise suggests that we ought to bear in mind our actions and the effects they may have, as we are helping to produce the future. Eventually, this quote motivates us to be conscious of our actions and to take obligation for the future we are assisting to produce.
