#memory quote

"Memory is often our only connection to who we used to be. Memories are fossils, the bones left by dead versions of ourselves. More potently, our minds are a hungry audience, craving only the peaks and valleys of experience. The bland erodes, leaving behind the distinctive bits to be remembered again and again."

Memory taps a gun to your inner skull & demands you bring back the dead.

I think it is all a matter of love; the more you love a memory the stronger and stranger it becomes.

I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can. Never turn back and never believe that an hour you remember is a better hour because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance.

"Sometimes, you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory."

Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.
