Living the past is a dull and lonely business; looking back strains the neck muscles, causing you to bump into people not going your way. – Edna Ferber
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
My parents were keen for me to have the education they themselves never had. They werent able to guide me towards particular books, but they encouraged me to read, which I did, randomly and compulsively. – Ian Mcewan
