“Life is a memory, and then it is nothing.”
“You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces, to realize that memory is what makes our lives. Life without memory is no life at all... Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action. Without it we are nothing.”
“These memories, which are my life--for we possess nothing certainly except the past--were always with me.”
“...memory can restore to life everything except smells, although nothing revives the past so completely as a smell that was once associated with it.”
“Existence is without memory; of the vanished it retains nothing - not even a memory.”
“Leave nothing but footprints,Take nothing but memories”
