Brian brings his past scars to his present day. He felt I didn't see what was there. And, of course, I felt he saw what wasn't there. So, you know, who's right?

You see what you want to see.

I've always been one to be gracious and kind; I certainly have learned you reap what you sow.

Fuck the past. This was the present.

It is the individual only who is timeless. Societies, cultures, and civilizations /past and present /are often incomprehensible to outsiders, but the individual's hungers, anxieties, dreams, and preoccupations have remained unchanged through the millennia.

If you hold onto the past you'll only make the present go fast.
