“Do you ever go back?"Ruthann nods, "When I need to remember where I came from, or where I'm headed.”

“You and I are walking in the snow. "Why are you walking backwards?" I ask. You point in the direction we came from. "So they'll think that's where I'm going." You point to where we're going. "And that's where I'm from.”

“You can't get where you're going unless you remember where you came from. Who you are and what you are is the only thing you own. Never lose it, and never…ever…surrender!”

“The past needs to be remembered. If you do not know where you come from, then you don’t know where you are, and if you don’t know where you are, then you don’t know where you’re going.”

“Remember where you came from, where you're going, and why you created this mess you got yourself into in the first place.”

“Don't ever forget where you came from--especially if you don't even know where you are going.”
