“The past has been there all along, reminding us: This time--maybe, hopefully, against all odds, we will get it right.”

“All we can do in life is play along and hope that we get it right. ”

“Maybe Rachel was right all along. Maybe the past is past, history is history, and you just push it aside and look for the future.”

“One has only to set a loved human being against the fact that we are all in peril all the time to get back a sense of proportion. What does anything matter compared to the reality of love and its span, so brief at best, maintained against such odds?”

“Maybe there's more we all could have done, but we just have to let the guilt remind us to do better next time.”

“What happens to people living in a society where everyone in power is lying, stealing, cheating and killing, and in our hearts we all know this, but the consequences of facing all these lies are so monstrous, we keep on hoping that maybe the corporate government administration and media are on the level with us this time.Americans remind me of survivors of domestic abuse.This is always the hope that this is the very, very, very last time one's ribs get re-broken again. ”
