Frances Hodgson Burnett

Some things you forget. Other things you never do. But it's not. Places, places are still there. If a house burns down, it's gone, but the place--the picture of it--stays, and not just in my remory, but out there, in the world.

Right in the place where it happened. Toni Morrison
