About This Quote
On page 30 of his book, "The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds," Sissela Bok said: "If we go back only one day, we're lost. If we go back a month, we're lost. If we go back a year, we're lost. If we try to go back more than that, we're lost. And the farther we travel back in time — and the further back we travel — the more lost we become."
