“What was can never be again.”
“What can be done when you’re eleven can often never be done again.”
“Maybe the reason you can never go home again is that, once you're back, you can never leave...”
“Someone can break your heart, leave you dead on the lawn, and still you never learn what to say to stop it all over again.”
“Can you keep secrets? Can you know a thing and never say it again?”
“...For can you think how it would be, to never, never hear a meadow lark sing again...?”
