“You can't really move forward until you look back.[From Remaking America panel discussion at George Washington University]”
“You can't learn from remembering. You can't learn from guessing. You can learn only from moving forward at the rate you are moved, as brightness into brightness.”
“in order to move forward you have to stop looking back!”
“And, when you can't go back, you have to worry only about the best way of moving forward.”
“I never really thought about how when I look at the moon, it's the same moon as Shakespeare and Marie Antoinette and George Washington and Cleopatra looked at.”
“Every moment wasted looking back, keeps us from moving forward.”
