“But what humans forget, cells remember. The body, that elephant”
“Elephants can remember, but we are human beings and mercifully human beings can forget.”
“We are all cells in the body of humanity”
“A novelist is an elephant, but an elephant who must pretend to forget.”
“It is forgetting, not remembering, that is the essence of what makes us human. To make sense of the world, we must filter it. "To think," Borges writes, "is to forget.”
“Remember your humanity, and forget the rest.”
