Quote by Robert Black

“I am always a different man; a reinterpretation of the man I was yesterday, and the day before, and all the days I have lived.

But he sure liked that one best. "I don't know, Hadley. I think it's been a pretty whimsical night." Her lips curled up in acknowledgement. "This has all been very unlike me. But that doesn't change the fact that down the road, beyond right now-" He leaned down so they were eye-to-eye and whispered, "Who said anything about beyond right now?”
