There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.
When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.

Of course, you never really forget anyone, but you certainly release them. You stop allowing their history to have any meaning for you today. You let them change their haircut, let them move, let them fall in love again. And when you see this person you have let go, you realize that there is no reason to be sad. The person you knew exists somewhere, but you are separated by too much time to reach them again.
