“ The saddest thing that can happen to a person is to find out their memories are lies. ”
...the nostalgia for things that weren't yet lost.
~ Juan Gabriel Vásquez
What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over.
Experience, or what we call experience, is not the inventory of our pains, but rather the learned sympathy towards the pain of others.
There is no more disastrous mania, no more dangerous whim, than the speculation over roads not taken.
