“We were born from their dreams, their fears and imaginations. We are the product of their hearts and minds. Without a soul we are immortal, yet empty. Remembered, we exist. Forgotten, we die. And when we die, we simply fade away, as if we never existed at all.”
“We do not remember days, Shemei, we remember moments, and the richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.”
“In living we die, in dying we live.”
“We have all forgotten what we really are. All that we call common sense and rationality and practicality and positivism only means that for certain dead levels of our life we forget that we have forgotten. All that we call spirit and art and ecstasy only means that for one awful instant we remember that we forget.”
“We have three lives: one that we live, one that we dream, and one that we remember.”
