“In the future, I'll be braver, she told herself. In the future, I will always speak my mind, eloquently, passionately.”
“Instead of fearing the future, I should live and enjoy the present, she told herself.”
“You are speaking of my future lover. Be more respectful.”
“Say she rail; why, I'll tell her plainShe sings as sweetly as a nightingale.Say that she frown; I'll say she looks as clearAs morning roses newly wash'd with dew.Say she be mute and will not speak a word;Then I'll commend her volubility,and say she uttereth piercing eloquence.”
“I knew then that my future had always been Ren.”
“Young men speak about the future because they have no past, and old men speak of the past because they have no future.”
