“In this world, there is a kind of painful progress. Longing for what we've left behind, and dreaming ahead.”
“The key ingredient to progress, to getting ahead, is to leave a foundation behind.”
“I knew what I had left behind. The question was: What was I going to find ahead?”
“if you focus on what you have left behind, you will never be able to see what lies ahead”
“We have not long to live in any event. Let us spend what is left in seeking the unpeopled world behind the sunrise.”
“Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.”
