Becca Fitzpatrick Quotes

The past is one evil less and one memory more.

Things change, people change, but that doesn't mean you should forget the past.

I find myself thinking more about the past as I get older... maybe because there's just more of it to think about. At the same time, I'm less haunted by it than I was as a younger person. I guess that's probably the ideal: to reach a point where you have access to all of your memories, but you don't feel victimized by them.

I do not have a philosophy about retrospectives. Of course, I cannot change what I have done. What I am doing today, this I can change, in view of whatever I have done before. My retrospectives are like a series of ghosts.

I don't spend much time regretting the past, once I've taken my lesson from it. I don't dwell on it.

The past is not a package one can lay away.

There's no future in our past. Just experience. We want to return to it, but we don't want to close the door on it either.

The past was always there, lived inside of you, and it helped to make you who you were. But it had to be placed in perspective. The past could not dominate the future.

Let the moment go. . . . Don't forget it for a moment, though. Just remembering you've had an "and" when you're back to "or" makes the "or" mean more than it did before. . . . Now I understand! And it's time to leave the woods.

You've got to let it go and say it was the best I could do at that time and place in my life. You hope that the thing you're doing next is a little bit better.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

I don't like looking back.

I can't really dwell on the past.

You can't live in the past, there's nothing you can do about it.

I don't much like looking back.

I have memories - but only a fool stores his past in the future.

Events have moved on, yet some people still keep talking about the past.

I used to be.

I can't dwell on past mistakes.

Certainly, there were tough times, but no, you can't go back and change it. So, why dwell on it?

I try not to look back on my life and be regretful.

You simply cannot change what has happened in the past.

I only felt a cold wind blow while I tried to hang on to the past.

If I could undo what's been done, But I guess everyone is living, With water and bridges.

My biggest life lesson is that the past is the past. I do my best not to bring history into my present. It ain't ever easy, but it usually creates more opportunity for joyful experiences.
