“To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child.”
- Marcus Tullius Cicero
“In general, people experience their present naively, as it were, without being able to form an estimate of its contents; they have first to put themselves at a distance from it – the present, that is to say, must have become the past – before it can yield points of vantage from which to judge the future.”
- Sigmund Freud
“Life is a dead-end street.”
- H.L. Mencken
Charlie Spand & Blind Blake – “Hastings Street”
