Your past is a skeleton walking one step behind you, and your future is a a skeleton walking one step in front of you. Maybe you don't wear a watch, but your skeletons do, and they always know what time it is.

Sherman Alexie
About This Quote

This quote, quite simply, means that we all have skeletons in our closets. Our pasts and our futures can be tainted by things we've done in the past and things we'll do in the future. The key is to not let those skeletons kill us or ruin our lives.
