About This Quote
I had begun to feel that life was a repetition of the same thing; that there was nothing new either in me or in him; and that, on the contrary, we kept going back as it were on what was old. This quote is about how you make choices about your life. You can live in the past or live in the future, you can live in the past, because it's already happened. Or, you can live in the future with hope because you believe there is something new waiting for you. Your life will either be like a movie that you can rewatch or like an adventure that continues with every chapter.
