Johnny Cash: Frasi in inglese
Variante: You build on failure. You use it as a stepping sone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

When the man comes around.”
Song lyrics, American IV: The Man Comes Around (2002), The Man Comes Around
Contesto: Whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still.

Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still.
Listen to the words long written down,
When the man comes around.

“I'm not bitter. Why should I be bitter? I'm thrilled to death with life.”
CNN interview (2002)
