Erik Pevernagie
“Even if we have bad feelings about our past and it causes a sense of alienation, it belongs to our history. Its benchmarks are stored in the granary of our mind and crucial evaluations for the future cannot be made without consulting the archive of our memory. ( “Not without the past”)”
― Erik Pevernagie

David  Mitchell
“Trees're always a relief, after people.”
― David Mitchell, Black Swan Green
