“The past is no further away than the last breath you took.”

“History is no more fixed and dead than the future. The past is no further away than the last breath you took.”

“I believed that by fixing it down in words, I could force sense from all that had happened, that effect would follow cause, and the reason for each event come clear to me. But then I returned one day, to find all my careful scribing gone to fragments of vellum lying in a trampled yard with wet snow blowing over them. I sat my horse, looking down at them, and knew that, as it always would, the past had broken free of my effort to define and understand it. History is no more fixed and dead than the future. The past is no further away than the last breath you took.”

“In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took,but how many moments took your breath away.”

“Have you ever been further away than yourself? Where?”

“Over here where you past is your last breathe, your present is this breathe, and your future is your next breathe" Leon, War Letters”
