That is so very thought-provoking, your words. I read Gatsby when I was young. It was fine. I read it again decades later. Wow -- what a difference years and experience make in interpreting it.
Dearest RTC, No, we cannot change others and as for all history, it is good as long as we do learn from it! Our own memories from the past do become good cushions for old age... Hugs, Mariette
This is a great quote. I see it is from The Great Gatsby. It makes me want to read the rest of this book, which had not appealed to me before. Thank you for posting it!
This reminds me of this quote: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” ― Reinhold Niebuhr. Have a great weekend.
“no matter - tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther . . . And then one fine morning— So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby ☆☆☆★☆☆☆

Eu comentei este post anteriormente... deve estar em Spam... algo que continua a acontecer a imensos bloggers... Este livro acompanhou-me durante a minha juventude, nas minhas aulas de Inglês... bem mais recentemente vi o filme que também muito apreciei... e que nos dá um olhar complementar do livro! Grata por mais uma excelente partilha! Abraço! Ana
The things of the past must be erased, we cannot go back, we must look forward with the experience that the past has given us.
ReplyDeleteVery true! And what a famous last line!

ReplyDeleteThe couselor was right at least about one thing: we can change ourselves but not others.
ReplyDeleteGreat book. Great movie too.

ReplyDeleteThese words are wise RTC. We can't change future and past. We live in the real moment.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, and I like that Great Gatsby quote. It really spoke to me this Sunday morning.
ReplyDeleteHave a peaceful weekend, and thank you for always coming by for a visit.
