“Names don't mean a thing anymore. The past is dead.”
“To remain in the past means to be dead.”
“Don't call yourself discouraged anymore;it's no longer your name.”
“We cry for ourselves, don't we? Not for the dead. The dead are past caring.”
“Things change whether you want them to, or not--unless you are dead. Don't hold so hard to the past that you die with it.”
“I kept thinking how they were all names of dead people, and how names are basically the only thing dead people keep.”
