“Memory really matters...only if it binds together the imprint of the past and the project of the future, if it enables us to act without forgetting what we wanted to do, to become without ceasing to be, and to be without ceasing to become.”

“But I know he'll call, no matter what shape he's in. Even when I hate him, I love him. Even when he stops calling, I hear his voice. Will is my only brother. Without each other - without the invisible thread that binds us together, no matter how weak or frayed it becomes - we are simply drifting, all alone, without anything like a compass to know where we're headed.”

“The only thing a person can ever really do is keep moving forward. Take that big leap forward without hesitation, without once looking back. Simply forget the past and forge toward the future.”

“For what is a person without memories? A ghost, trapped between worlds, without an identity, with no future, no past.”

“Man is diminished if he lives without knowledge of his past; without hope of a future he becomes a beast.”

“The moment of realization is: When what you thought you couldn't be without, becomes a part of the past, rather than the start of the future.”
