The Band Back Together

“Perhaps all adult life was an attempt to keep alight the fires that burned when you were young.”
― Five Rivers Met on a Wooded Plain
― Five Rivers Met on a Wooded Plain
“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.”
― Five Rivers Met on a Wooded Plain
― Five Rivers Met on a Wooded Plain
“[Life] has been passing since the day he was born, and everything he puts off, chooses not to do or say because he is hoarding experience for his real, adult life isn't a thing safeguarded but a treasure risked. The world is full of things put off for the wrong reasons, which can suddenly become impossible without warning. They hang in the air like ghosts, their mouths and eyes sewn up forever. They will never be able to speak, but if it was you who put them there, you will always be forced to see them.”
