“Every man's memory is his private literature.”

“Each man's memory is his own private literature”

“I thought his memory was like the other memories of the dead that accumulate in every man's life,—a vague impress on the brain of shadows that had fallen on it in their swift and final passage. . .”

“Literature is no one’s private ground, literature is common ground; let us trespass freely and fearlessly and find our own way for ourselves.”

“I believe that there are no memories that are okay to forget.Every man's memory is his private literature.Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the sameMemory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.Remember, we all stumble, every one of us. That's why it's a comfort to go hand in hand.”

“Beware of the corporate invasion of private memory.”
