“Memory plays tricks. Memory is another word for story, and nothing is more unreliable.”
“Vanity plays lurid tricks with our memory, and the truth of every passion wants some pretence to make it live.”
“My memory of that day is like television itself, sharp and clear but unreliable.”
“I learned that people remember what they want to in the way they want to. What and when and why and how. Memory is largely selective, and hugely unreliable." - Unreliable”
“Memory, I realize, can be an unreliable thing; often it is heavily coloured by the circumstances in which one remembers.”
“Memory is slippery. It bends to our understanding of the world, twists to accommodate our prejudices. It is unreliable. Witnesses seldom remember the same things. They identify the wrong people. They give us the details of events that never happened. Memory is slippery, but my memories suddenly feel slipperier.”
