In this quote, Sapphire is exploring the idea of revisiting the past and the power we have to change its impact on our present and future. By "walking back into" the past, Sapphire suggests that we have the ability to alter our past experiences and memories by viewing them with a new perspective or understanding. This quote may also speak to the concept of growth and healing, as re-examining past events can lead to personal transformation and a sense of empowerment. Sapphire reminds us that our past does not have to define us, and that we have the power to shape our own narrative.
“There's no going back from what happened. You can go back and understand the past, but you can't go back and change it.”
“The present changes the past. Looking back you do not find what you left behind.”
“You can’t go back, Ever. You can’t change the past. It just is. . . . This is our destiny. Not yours.”
“I know I can't change the past, but I change the future. I can change, too. And I will.”
“Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future too.”
