The future is meant for those who are willing to let go of the worst parts of the past. When you cannot take two steps without turning around to inspect your footsteps, you are getting nowhere fast.

The mind is left bereft when it is nothing more than a tool of regurgitation.
The pale fabric of reality has so many hidden pockets that we can find some change in here somewhere – you just have to dig a little deeper to avoid the chewing gum and past mistakes.
