Quote by John Connolly

“Raging against it, or despairing, would not change anything. The past does not imprison us. We may offer ourselves up as its captives, but equally, we can choose to open the cell door and walk free. Even if it's locked, the key is nearby, because we keep it with us always. It's just a matter of finding the right pocket.”
