“The past can not be cured.”
“O shut the door! and when thou hast done so,Come weep with me; past hope, past cure, past help!”
“For when you are on the spot, disorders are detected in their beginnings and remedies can be readily applied; but when you are at a distance, they are not heard of until they have gathered strength and the case is past cure.”
“Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul.”
“...the past: It drifts, it gathers. If you are not careful, it will bury you. This is half the reason for the cure: It clean-sweeps; it makes the past, and all its pain, distant, like the barest impression on sparkling glass.”
“Ignorance is a virus. Once it starts spreading, it can only be cured by reason. For the sake of humanity, we must be that cure.”
