“To memorize something, it's best to write it down.”
“If you're going to write, don't pretend to write down. It's going to be the best you can do, and it's the fact that it's the best you can do that kills you.”
“The best part is not the biggest, it's the one that's most memorable.”
“Write it down, boy. If you come across a passage in your reading that you’d like to remember, write it down in your little book; then you can read it again, memorize it, and have it whenever you wish.”
“Never memorize something that you can look up.”
“The discipline of writing something down is the first step toward making it happen.”
