Tom Courtenay

Childhood is over once we realize that our dreams will never come true. The dreams still persist, but rarely will they come ever to pass. Thus life becomes about finding an inner peace in knowing that our childhood fantasies are going to fade with time. Eventually even the memories are either blurred or forgotten completely. So why waste any time thinking about the past or the future when all we truly have is this moment in time. Sure the needle will keep spinning on the record player and every song will eventually fade, but that doesn't take away from the moment of happiness we felt during a certain chord. 

"So now I'm looking for a lucky charm, with a needle hanging out of its arm."
