Romance lasts forever, love don't fade away. They may take away our future, but they can't stop yesterday.

But the participants [in war] never forgot the details of their experience, and like the Wandering Jew, they were condemned to remain their own history books, each containing a story they could not pass on to others and from which no one would learn anything of value.
I did not know that history is like a blood stain that keeps on showing on the wall no matter how many new owners take possession, no matter how many times we pint over it.

It's wrong what they say about the past, I've learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out.
