“For the human memory is short, and even when we write it in stone we quickly forget and the stones crumble and even those stones then forget.”
“Forget the night.Live with us in forests of azure.Out here on the perimeter there are no stars,Out here we is stoned - immaculate.”
“The world is packed with mistery. We tend to forget this, but itțs still packed tight with it, like water in stone.”
“Remembering is my only job and it's hard work. We are natural-born amnesiacs, hardwired to let go of the past, to release ourselves from history; the only way to withstand our pain is to forget our pain. We may think we don't forget, but we do. Time wears down the rough edges of our memory, sure as a stone on the river bank is smoothed by the rushing current. And like the eroding stone, the memory fades so gradually we don't even feel it. We don't notice. Eighteen years fly by, whoosh, and we don't even realize that not long ago, we didn't all drink bottled water, the Soviet Union loomed as a threat, smoking was commonplace in restaurants, and Bono was just a rockstar. What I want... all I want... is not to forget. But it's an uphill battle. Over time, the image blurs, the scent dissipates, the memory fades. ”
“On the road to success, even little stones may cause you fall down! If you are not serious and careful, forget about reaching your target!”
“Even as the nineteenth century had to come to grips with the notion of human descent from apes, we must now come to terms with the fact that those apes were stoned apes.”
