“I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can.

Never turn back and never believe that an hour you remember is a better hour ― because it is dead.

Passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance.” 

― Beryl Markham, West in the Night
