“By mimicking the way memory works, a writer can actually write in a fluid way-one solid scene doesn't have to fall on another solid scene, you can just have a fragment that then dovetails into another one that took place 30 years apart from it. It doesn't have to be fully realized, it can be a glancing, shadowy reference to something that you'll come back to later, and then it moves on.”
Kazuo Ishiguro
“The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Why can we remember the tiniest detail that has happened to us, and not remember how many times we have told it to the same person.”
François de la Rochefoucauld
“A friend knows the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails.”
Donna Roberts
“Memories are the treasures that we keep locked deep within the storehouse of our souls, to keep our hearts warm when we are lonely.”
Becky Aligada
“Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.”
Kevin Arnold
“We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories. Some take us forward, they're called dreams.”
Jeremy Irons
