I can't. You can't rewrite the past.

The past beats inside me like a second heart.

The past is always tense, the future perfect.

But the past is long, and the future is short.

What comes, when it comes, will be what it is.

The past is never where you think you left it.

Study the past if you would define the future.

These fragments I have shored against my ruins

What happens now will not matter in the future.

It’s not easy remembering the good times.

Why ruin the present by talking about the past?

The past—I’m looking forward to it.

I want something that is nothing like the past.

Do not allow past mistakes to shape your future.

What is the past but what we choose to remember?
