“Is only reminding when one forgets.”

“But one does not forget by trying to forget. One only remembers.”

“Sometimes the best reminders are the memories we choose to forget.”

“I was like one who forgets all day to eat until the scent from some other's roasting pan reminds her she's ravenous.”

“There they lay, but not in the forgetfulness of the previous night. She was seeking and he was seeking, they raged and contorted their faces and bored their heads into each others bosom in the urgency of seeking something, and their embraces and their tossing limbs did not avail to make them forget, but only reminded them of what they sought”

“Composing gives me great pleasure... there is nothing that surpasses the joy of creation, if only because through it one wins hours of self-forgetfulness, when one lives in a world of sound.”
