“The only reason I have lived so long is that I let go of my past. Shut the door on grief on regret on remorse.”
― Lucia Berlin, A Manual for Cleaning Women: Selected Stories

“No matter how empty it may be, this is still my heart. There's still some human warmth in it. Memories, like seaweed wrapped around pilings on the beach, wordlessly waiting for high tide. Emotions that, if cut, would bleed. I can't just let them wander somewhere beyond my understanding.”
― Haruki Murakami
