“Time could not stop, time changed all things, all thoughts
and ideals, all ways and manners and living, so that remembering the past as the
best was a foolish gesture offered to the wind. You might recall the past with
fondness and some regret and a little thanks for all it had given, but you
could not live in the past and do justice to the present. Time offered its gift
of days to spend, you used the days and hoped for more, hoped you might live
your fair share in good health and good luck and happiness.”-Frank O'Rourke, The Last Chance
