Memory is the mother of all wisdom.
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.
The best thing about memories is making them.

Memory... is the diary that we all carry about with us.

I have memories - but only a fool stores his past in the future.
Memories, even bittersweet ones, are better than nothing.
The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies.

Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.
The palest ink is better than the best memory.
The only way to take sorrow out of death is to take love out of life.
Memories are like a garden. Regularly tend the pleasant blossoms and remove the invasive weeds.
The only paradise is paradise lost.
We do not remember days, we remember moments.
A memory is what is left when something happens and does not completely unhappen.
In the end, we'll all become stories.

Memories are bullets. Some whiz by and only spook you. Others tear you open and leave you in pieces.
Memories warm you up from the inside. But they also tear you apart.
The past beats inside me like a second heart.
