“One lives by memory . . . and not by truth.”
“Vanity plays lurid tricks with our memory, and the truth of every passion wants some pretence to make it live.”
“One lives in the hope of becoming a memory.”
“memories should be sharp when one has nothing else to live for”
“Relief is a short-lived emotion, passive and thin. The agony of doubt disappears, leaving little memory of how it really felt. Life aligns behind the new truth.”
“Truly happy memories always live on, shining. Over time, one by one, they come back to life.”
