Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they stay forever on the horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the watcher turns away in silent resignation his dreams mocked to death by time. That's the life of men. Now women forget all those things they don't want to remember and remember everything they don't want to forget. Then they act and do things accordingly.
~Zora Neale Hurston
There Eyes Were Watching God
Do we? I'm not so sure.
