“We are a succession of selves. The person you were at five is different from who you were at fifteen, twentyfive, fifty. ... Sometimes we look back at old versions of ourselves with tenderness, sometimes with embarrassment or regret. ... But those past selves were necessary. They led us here. They were trying to meet their needs with the knowledge they had at the time” — Ajmal, from the book "Borders of the Inner World"
