“The past should remain firmly behind one. The present holds enough obstacles.”

“I am sure of nothing except that to believe you know where you are headed is not to understand where one is at the moment.”

“I thought it was just a picture of madness. But that wasn't. It was a message, it has to be, those words are too specific.”

“I was looking for a way to be someone else,'I said.”

“It is sadder to find the past again and find it inadequate to the present than it is to have it elude you and remain forever a harmonious conception of memory.”

“Maybe that's the trick. You should never come back. Never go backwards. Never give the past that much hold over you.”

“INTO MY OWN One of my wishes is that those dark trees, So old and firm they scarcely show the breeze, Were not, as ’twere, the merest mask of gloom, But stretched away unto the edge of doom. I should not be withheld but that some day Into their vastness I should steal away, Fearless of ever finding open land, Or highway where the slow wheel pours the sand. I do not see why I should e’er turn back, Or those should not set forth upon my track To overtake me, who should miss me here And long to know if still I held them dear. They would not find me changed from him they knew— Only more sure of all I thought was true.”
