Dietmar Leibecke

“When you're young, you think everything you do is disposable. You move from now to now, crumpling time up in your hands, tossing it away. You're your own speeding car. You think you can get rid of things, and people too—leave them behind. You don't yet know about the habit they have, of coming back.

Time in dreams is frozen. You can never get away from where you've been.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin

“Small things like how you dress can seem innocuous and superficial when you're young, but as you get older and realize you have not even the slightest idea of how to dress for a job that might pay more than $9 an hour, you can see how early on people can get left behind”
― Micah Schnabel, Hello, My Name is Henry

“Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain, The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.”
― A.E. Housman

“Time is the water, Charlie. Life is just the bridge it flows under.”
― Stephen King, Fairy Tale
