Out of nowhere...

Reading a girly, romance, beach-read novel today, I came across these words:  "What is past is prologue."  Turns out it's a quote from Shakespeare's The Tempest. 

My first thought was, "Oh, man, I detested reading Shakespeare in high school.  So much nonsense!"  

 Then I thought, "Geez, that's  a pretty cool quote."

Ah, the wiseness in growing older.
