“Preserve your memories, keep them well, what you forget you can never retell.”
“Your memory is a monster; you forget—it doesn't. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you—and summons them to your recall with will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you!”
“You can never forget what you do in a war, September my love. No one can. You won't forget your war either.”
“You must never forget it if that's an important memory to you. Especially when a person dies, he can only live in the memories of others.”
“If you want to keep your memories, you first have to live them.”
“Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.”
