You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day.

The law's the law, but people are people.

That's how life goes on - protected by the silence that anesthetizes shame.

You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day.

Humans withdraw to their homes, and surrender the night to the creatures that own it: the crickets, the owls, the snakes. A world that hasn't changed for hundreds of thousands of years wakes up, and carries on as if the daylight and the humans and the changes to the landscape have all been an illusion.

To have any kind of a future you've got to give up hope of ever changing your past.

Every end is the beginning of something else.
