Who said "the past is like smoke"

Robin Williams' acting skills are still so superb, it seems that his childlike innocence has been carefully preserved, and has never been bleached and diluted by the running water of time. The sadness in the film is like a cleverly woven trap. The protagonist steps into it and sinks deeper and deeper. There is no alternative but to escape from such a deep pain. What is even more sad is that he can hardly find a person to blame, perhaps, this is the arrangement of fate.
I always thought that leaving that sad city, severing all past connections, and burying everything deep in my heart, would win the opportunity to start again. But the past is not like smoke. They are hidden in our shadows. A glance against the light can easily evoke all memories. This is the inevitable course of life: return-go-come.

    Tom Warshaw: I don't have to run anymore. Lady, I can walk now.
