“When you are young, you are immense—then you shrink. Everything is possible at five, but what is left for you at forty? With every choice you make you renounce all the choices you could have made instead, and so you become smaller and smaller, each choice consuming you a little, burning your possibilities, until nothing is left of you. Death is a progressive shrinking that brings you from vastness to nothingness”
― Francesco Dimitri, The Book of Hidden Things

“How can I begin anything new with all of yesterday in me?”
― Leonard Cohen, Beautiful Losers

“And if he left off dreaming about you, where do you suppose you'd be?”
― Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass
