“The most perfect memories are the ones too painful to forget.”

“And there is escaping things the knowledge of which makes one unhappy. If "truth" is what we know and are aware of, in the most engrossing fiction we escape truth. Whatever else it is, drama is forgetfulness. We can forget and forget that we are forgetting. It is temporary mind control. If memories are pain, fiction is anesthesia.”

“The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.”

“No one forgets his pain, that’s a lie. It’s buried there in memory and remains in you forever.”

“The most painful thing in life is losing yourself in the process of valuing someone too much and forgetting that you are special too”

“To forget is the secret of eternal youth. One grows old only through memory. There's much too little forgetting.”
