“But it was smell that carried memory.”
“A light wind blew through here that carried with it scents of sadness and loss, not recognizable odors but smells that corresponded to nothing, chimerical fragrances able to evoke melancholic memories.”
“My first memory is of the smell of sunwarmed earth.”
“The fish,Even in the fisherman's net,Still carries,The smell of the sea.”
“...memory can restore to life everything except smells, although nothing revives the past so completely as a smell that was once associated with it.”
“Memory is the diary we all carry about with us.”
