“The good news is that you may have created my past and screwed up my present, but you have no control over my future. You don't know me at all.”
“You may have created my past and screwed up my present, but you have no control over my future.”
“I need to acknowledge that she may have controlled my past, but she doesn't have to dominate my present and my future, too”
“What right does my present have to speak of my past? Has my present some advantage over my past? What "grace" might have enlightened me? except that of passing time, or of a good cause, encountered on my way?”
“ 'It ain't ever over. You can't have no future if you don't have no past, and the past ain't never done with you...At the end of your life, all you have is what you know.' ”
“Is the future, is the past, all that matters to you? Don't you have just a little bit of room for the present?”
