“Learning from our mistakes and holding on to our memories help us become deeper individuals with a better sense of who we are and how we choose to live our lives.”

“And I saw for the first time how, despite the isolation of our own lives, we are always connected to our ancestors; our bodies hold the memories of those who came before us, whether it is the features we inherit or a disposition that is etched into our soul.”

“We're each our own person, we live our own lives, make our own mistakes, learn from them and move forward.”

“Our memories, those precious moments that shape our lives and makes us who we are. Our friends, our families, and all the special things we hold close to our hearts. Those are the things that can never be replaced”

“We choose our thoughts. We choose our perceptions. We choose our attitudes.......And our lives become defined by our choices. - chief inspector Armand Gamache in Still Life”

“Our lives are the sum of our memories. How much are we willing to lose from our already short lives by … not paying attention?”
