About This Quote
Until we can navigate in time, I'm not sure that we can prove that what happened is real. This is a quote from the movie "The Time Traveler's Wife", which is based on the novel by Audrey Niffenegger. The story centers around a love triangle involving Henry (the time traveler), Clare, and years of their lives that the main character forgot. He has to travel back in time to go through his life before he can remember it.
Many times during these travels he will find himself in the same places and with the same people, but it never occurs to him to check his rescheduled schedule for this day. That he does forget is astonishing because he has been traveling back and forth between his own time and "today" for years.
