Used in a sentence: "Says Ryan to Claire in the season premier of The Following, 'I work better in people's past, always have.'"
Full disclosure -- I have no idea what else Ryan said to Claire, as the show was crossed off my TV list (yes, I'm a TV addict, but I'm trying to control my habit) ... but fuller disclosure -- I loved that quote when I heard it.
Under a certain examination, it's a bid sad. But I embrace that spirit in my life. Give me new experiences, new places, new people -- life's short enough as it is to get stuck in a place where you've nothing more to learn. But still celebrate the past (that's what I do -- with memories and photos and "talismans" and collections).
It's times like these where I just want to fast forward to the days writing on a beach in warm environs, surrounded by good friends and loved ones and some alcohol and six-toed cats (Hemmingway much?), content reliving all that I've done, recounting stories of where I've been, recalling lives in which I had the privilege to be a part ... (is this what happens in mid-life -- one gets "retirement envy"?) ...
THANKS SHIPPERS, FOR AFFIRMING MY MEMORY OF THE QUOTE:
