“Let the past abolish the past when -- and if -- it can substitute something better.”
“The past can be escaped only by embracing something better.”
“There is no past we can bring back by longing for it. There is only an eternal now that builds and creates out of the past something new and better.”
“Forgiveness means letting go of the hope for a better past.”
“Let your past make you better, not bitter.”
“Art’s only concern with the real is to abolish it, and to substitute for it a new reality”
