“The posters and rock-star buttons and banners were valueless without the perspective of the mind that had attached significance to them. Souvenirs have no worth without nostalgia, after all. They're meaningless if a memory isn't linked to them.”
“...the only real significance she had attached to the memory was that it was funny what stuck with you.”
“The ordinary man is aware of his surroundings, first, by naming and labelling them; second, by linking them with past memory of them; and third, by relating them to his own personal self. The illumined egoless man is simply aware of them, without any of these other added activities.”
“We are linked by blood, and blood is memory without language.”
“Architect without Pencil is like Rock-star without Guitar.”
“Because we are linked by blood and blood is memory without language.”
