“Memory's images, once they are fixed in words, are erased.”

“Memory's images, once they are fixed in words, are erased," Polo said. "Perhaps I am afraid of losing Venice all at once, if I speak of it, or perhaps, speaking of other cities, I have already lost it, little by little.”

“Memory offers up its gifts only when jogged by something in the present. It isn't a storehouse of fixed images and words, but a dynamic associative network in the brain that is never quiet and is subject to revision each time we retrieve an old picture or old words.”

“As the end approaches, there are no longer any images from memory - there are only words.”

“Frankly,the image of his father wearing bell-bottoms,smoking a joint, and calling his mother a “totallygroovy chick” was wrong on so many levels hewanted to erase the whole thing from his memory”

“Anyone know how can erase mind memory?”
