“The past is not dead. Indeed, it is often not even past.”
“The past is never dead. It's not even past.”
“The past is never dead. It’s not even past.—William Faulkner”
“The dead are the past and we cannot escape the past. Without the past there will be no future.”
“Who really can face the future? All you can do is project from the past, even when the past shows that such projections are often wrong. And who really can forget the past? What else is there to know?”
“The past was finished; let the dead bury their dead.”
