"If only we could go back and reverse the things we did wrong, better the things we did right. We can't. Not because time doesn't move that way, but because we ourselves would be entirely different. It would not be fair. You've had your chance. You're no longer on the stage. The clapping has subsided. The trumpets are silent, packed up in cases already gathering dust."
