Alive Quote by Mary Oliver
“I wanted the past to go away, I wanted to leave it, like another country; I wanted my life to close, and open like a hinge, like a wing, like the part of the song where it falls down over the rocks: an explosion, a discovery; I wanted to hurry into the work of my life; I wanted to know, whoever I was, I was alive for a little while.”
![“I let my [past] life in peripherally, because I'm interested in what's over there; I want to keep going forward.” quote by Ted Danson](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/9d9/ted-danson-6752_keep-going_i-let-my-past-life-in-peripherally-becau_1170626.jpg)
