H.P. LovecraftMots clés fear psychology memory

Vladimir NabokovMots clés memory recollection
It is in providing outward display for things and pathways as they exist within the horizons of landscape that places enable memories to become inwardly inscribed and possessed: made one with the memorial self. The visibility without becomes part of the invisibility within.
Edward S. CaseyI am an omnivorous reader with a strangely retentive memory for trifles.
Arthur Conan DoyleI think the secret to a hoppy life is a selective memory. Remember what you are most grateful for and quickly forget what your not.

We seem to live in a world where forgetting and oblivion are an industry in themselves and very, very few people are remotely interested or aware of their own recent history, much less their neighbors'.

Bram StokerShe could sense it very clearly: for me, no less than for her, the past counted far more than the present, remembering something far more than possessing it. Compared to memory, every possession can only ever seem disappointing, banal, inadequate ... She understood me so well!

It was 'our' vice, this: to go forwards with our heads forever turned back.
