「We may be through with the past, but the past is not through with us.」


「This fucking life... Oh... It's so fucking hard. So long. Life ain't short. It's long. It's long, God damn it. Goddamn. What did I do? What did I do? What did I do? What did I do? What did I do?」


「There are stories of coincidence and chance and intersections and strange things told and which is which and who only knows? And we generally say: "Well, if that was in a movie, I wouldn't believe it." Someone's so-and-so met someone else's so-and-so and so on. And -- it is in the humble opinion of this narrator that strange things happen all the time. And so it goes, and so it goes. And the book says: "We may be through with the past but the past ain't through with us."」


「I mean, the law is the law. And heck if I'm gonna break it. You can forgive someone. Well, that's the tough part. What can we forgive? Tough part of the job.」


「Aimee Mann — Wise Up」
