What we remember from childhood we remember forever - permanent ghosts, stamped, inked, imprinted, eternally seen.
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.

The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another.
Memories are like a garden. Regularly tend the pleasant blossoms and remove the invasive weeds.

Memories are bullets. Some whiz by and only spook you. Others tear you open and leave you in pieces.
