"You walk through a series of arches, so to speak, and then, presently, at the end of a corridor, a door opens and you see backward through time, and you feel the flow of time, and realize you are only part of a great nameless procession"
- John Huston

As we stroll through the arches, we are metaphorically strolling through life, taking steps forward and gaining from our experiences. At the end of the corridor, the door opens and we are able to look back and reflect on our journey. We can see how far we have actually come and just how much we have grown. We can likewise recognize that we are just a small part of a much bigger story, an excellent nameless procession of individuals who have actually come prior to us and will follow us. This quote advises us to appreciate the journey and to recognize that we are all connected in some way.
