“After you've seen behind the facade of a stage set you can't take the play seriously any more. You can't go backwards and regain your ignorance; you have to move forward.”

“When you've burned the bridges behind you, don't go starting a fire on the one in front of you.”

“You see, I have no real complaints of how you've left your past behind
I guess what gets me worried is you've erased him from your mind.”

“That's the trouble, you see. When you've had hatred on your tongue for such a long time, you don't know how to spit it out.”

“I've wished for things and never really had the chance… It's time to stop dreaming and do something about it. You've got to know what you want, then… go.”
