Suddenly she realized that what she was regretting was not the lost past but the lost future, not what had not been but what would never be.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

The past is never dead. It's not even past. All of us labor in webs spun long before we were born, webs of heredity and environment, of desire and consequence, of history and eternity. Haunted by wrong turns and roads not taken, we pursue images perceived as new but whose providence dates to the dim dramas of childhood, which are themselves but ripples of consequence echoing down the generations. The quotidian demands of life distract from this resonance of images and events, but some of us feel it always.
William Faulkner

I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across‐not to just depict life‐or criticize it‐but to actually make it alive. So that when you have read something by me you actually experience the thing. You can't do this without putting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful. Because if it is all beautiful you can't believe in it. Things aren't that way.
Ernest Hemingway

It's so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shone.
John Steinbeck

Why waste your money looking up your family tree? Just go into politics and your opponent will do it for you.
Mark Twain

A virtual Who's Who of American Literature, John. Love the musical selections to compliment the author's and the artist.
For some reason I think of Wuthering Heights when I look at this.
The wavy reflection is amazing.

John, again a wonderful 'package' contribution (😁) from you.
If I was asked which is the favorite of the, by you always perfectly selected, quotes and music links, think it would be a dillemma to me.
After a long time of considering, think I had chosen for the cover of 'For What It's Worth'. Think my choice isn't objective because I'm a fan of the Del McCoury Band. This song performed by Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, and the Del McCoury band is my favorite.
Again a post to enjoy! Thanks for the done effort, 👍 !

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
