![“My dear, dear girl [. . .] we can't turn back the days that have gone. We can't turn life back to the hours when our lungs were sound, our blood hot, our bodies young. We are a flash of fire--a brain, a heart, a spirit. And we are three-cents-worth of lime and iron--which we cannot get back.” quote by Thomas Wolfe](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b75/thomas-wolfe-4237_blood_my-dear-dear-girl-we-can-t-turn-back-the_1109730.jpg)
