“When you remembered to forget, you were remembering. It was when you forgot to forget that you forgot. ”

“You forget your victories, but you remember the losses.”

“you remember what is lost, and you forget what's right in front of you.”

“Because they forgot and I remembered. They would be lost soon enough, and I would keep going. The best I could do was hold on to them after they forgot themselves.”

“Particularly beautiful people were like particularly funny-looking people, though. Once you know them you mostly forgot about it.”

“I did the searching and remembering, she did the disappearing and the forgetting.”

“She thought she would know when it happened. But now, as she looked around, she wondered if it was really like that at all. Maybe it happened in a million different ways, when you were thinking of it and you weren't. Maybe there was no gap, no jump, no chasm. You didn't forget yourself all at once. Maybe you just looked around one time or another and you thought, Hey. And there you were. ”
