“There are three things I noticed about being thirty-three: Failing memory, hair loss and failing memory.”

“Beautiful things grow to a certain height and then they fail and fade off, breathing out memories as they decay”

“As you get older three things happen. The first is your memory goes, and I can’t remember the other two.”

“If, even at three years old, we turn to the pleasures of memory, the less that is asserted about the felicity of childhood, the less there will be to dispute.”

“Many a man fails to become a thinker only because his memory is too good.”

“He who has failed three times sets up as an instructor.”

“From perfect grief there need not be
Wisdom or even memory;
One thing then learned remains to me —
The woodspurge has a cup of three.”

“The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice there is little we can do to change until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.”

“The depression and suicidal fantasies of three years ago are nothing but a memory to me now.”

“They were like two pieces of a failed star, drawn together by a shared history and a memory of illicit kisses.”
