“What is the past but what we choose to remember?”
“The past lies beneath the surface, intransigent truth. Remembered or not, what we say and do remains, always.”
“We do not choose what happens to us. We can only choose what we do after. What we do now. We can only choose to keep going.”
“A pity we cannot pick and choose what we remember.”
“Always choose the future over the past. What do we do now?”
