“I was a baby, and she hammered her way into my head. She made my
body stand, and walk, and fall. She did it every day, until I cried when she

“Imagine for a one moment that you're in the future. Your future. These are your last moments before death.......Now, imagine I give you a final gift. You're allowed to go back. Just for twenty minutes, you're allowed to go back to the exact moment where you're reading these words. This is your twenty-minute gift. Do not waste it. You can't change your life in twenty minutes, so don't try. No-do the thing that you'll wish, on your deathbed, you could have done one last time. Something precious.”
― Ben Reeves, Everything was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt

“But even old men have young memories.”
