"If I had the power to turn back time, I would never use it. I'd think about it because then every moment that you go through means absolutely nothing, cause you can always go back and do it again and so it loses its flavor, it loses its beauty...when things are final, and you know moments won't ever come again... To be able to have the power to go back and experience those things. It's silly to me." - Kobe Bryant

"I give [this watch] to you not that you may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all your breath trying to conquer it.

One quote I always found particularly apt for VN over the years is from Cormac McCarthy's Suttree, which takes place in Knoxville, making it even more fitting:


"Even the damned in hell have the community of their suffering."
