Years later, after the funeral, Maria had asked me questions about the family - who was related to whom - and I struggled. I couldn't remember.

• To say that you can 'have experience,' means, for one thing, that your past plays into and affects your present, and that it defines your capacity for future experience.

  C. Wright Mills

• One day I was living silently in a personal hell, without anyone to tell what I felt, without even knowing that the feelings I had were possible to have; and then one day I was not living like that at all. I had begun to see the past like this: there is a line; you can draw it yourself, or sometimes it gets drawn for you; either way, there it is, your past, a collection of people you used to be and things you used to do. Your past is the person you no longer are, the situations you are no longer in.
