“And so it is with our own past. It is a labour in vain to recapture it: all the efforts of our intellect must prove futile.

And as for that object, it depends on chance whether we come upon it or not before we ourselves must die.”
― Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way

“I've seen you play basketball, Theo. He beat you because you're terrible."

just one miss, but

a whole lotta makes
in this life, 'cause you're just
that good, and it's okay
to be down
and upset
as long as
you're not down
and out”
― Kwame Alexander, Rebound
