“People don't get to our ages without having pasts. I'm more interested in the future.”
“I have learned that the consequences of our past actions are always interesting; I have learned to view the present with a forward-looking eye.”
“People who read always have something interesting to say.”
“People are always shouting they want to create a better future. It's not true. The future is an apathetic void of no interest to anyone. The past is full of life, eager to irritate us, provoke and insult us, tempt us to destroy or repaint it. The only reason people want to be masters of the future is to change the past.”
“...and that, in the end, the most interesting people always leave.”
