“And, when you can't go back, you have to worry only about the best way of moving forward.”

“The older I get, the more I see there are these crevices in life where things fall in and you just can't reach them to pull them back out. So you can sit next to them and weep or you can get up and move forward. You have to stop worrying about who's not here and start worrying about who is.”

“You have to go forward: It's the only way. You have to go forward no matter what happens. This is the universal law.”

“If I survive this, I can't go back. I'll have to move forward and I don't know what that means.”

“That's life, MacKenzie. We can't go back, only forward. And we can't afford to waste the past. The best we can do is reframe it. We only have so many years on this earth. They all count.”

“You can't go back and change your mistakes or the wrongs that have been done to you. But by surviving them and helping others in their own despair...will help all move forward to better, brighter days.”
