"I've always figured it that you die each day and each day is a box, you see, all numbered and neat; but never go back and lift the lids, because you've died a couple of thousand times in your life, and that's a lot of corpses, each dead a different way, each with a worse expression. Each of those days is a different you, somebody you don't know or understand or want to understand."

This quote was the most vivid to me. I can easily see all the bodies inside these "Boxes" he is talking about and how each day we are different people. We make new decisions each day and we are constantly changing in ways no one can explain. You may go back and reflect on the way you were in the past but once your dead and buried there is no way you can go back to the way you were. I think it's true that sometimes people don't want to understand themselves. They don't want to know the person that they were because they have changed so completely, and they don't want to go back. I have felt like this at times and it isn't a good feeling at all. These are kind of like the skeletons in your closet.
