Quotes by Barney Norris (?)

“Now I am old I wish the young man I used to be had worried less about the past and lived more heedlessly in the present. I suppose I did as much living as I could. But I burn to tell men and women who are still young now how quickly it is going to get behind them, how fiercely they ought to love it while they can.”
― Barney Norris, Five Rivers Met on a Wooded Plain

“Perhaps all adult life was an attempt to keep alight the fires that burned when you were young.”

“That was the hardest thing, that in the end nothing was healed by medicine or medical expertise - people recovered because they willed those recoveries into being; they fought until they could live in the world again.”
