This new day is too dear,

with its hopes and invitations,

to waste a moment on the yesterdays." 

— Ralph Waldo Emerson (Collected Poems and Translations)

 "In that book which is my memory,

On the first page of the chapter that is the day when I first met you,

Appear the words, ‘Here begins a new life’." 

— Dante Alighieri (Vita Nuova)
