I wonder sometimes what the memory of God looks like. Is it a palace of infinite rooms, a chest of many jeweled objects, a long, lonely landscape where each tree recalls an eon, each pebble the life of a man? Where do I live, in the memory of God?

How grudging memory is, and how bitterly she clutches the raw material of her daily work.
Lawrence DurrellIt is always worth itemizing happiness, there is so much of the other thing in a life, you had better put down the markers of happiness while you can.
Sebastian BarryPart of the function of memory is to forget; the omni-retentive mind will break down and produce at best an idiot savant who can recite a telephone book, and at worst a person to whom every grudge and slight is as yesterday's.
Christopher HitchensMots clés forgiveness memory grudges forgetting savant-syndrome
How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life. Told to others, but—mainly—to ourselves.

As we grow older, we no longer know whom to awaken, the living or the dead.
