“Goal setting is fine if you want to be the warrior archetype.”

“You can sit there forever, lamenting about how bad you've been, feeling guilty until you die, and not one tiny slice of that guilt will do anything to change a single thing in the past. Forgive yourself, then MOVE ON!”

“Some smack of age in you, some relish of the saltness of time.”
