“If you want to keep your memories, you first have to live them.”
“Your life is given to you by your parents. If you don't want to live, you have to ask them first.”
“...I want to live doubly - first with you and then afterwards in memory ...”
“Your memory is a monster; you forget—it doesn't. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you—and summons them to your recall with will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you!”
“Preserve your memories, keep them well, what you forget you can never retell.”
“I want to have the memories of my time with you to keep me warm.”
