“Memories fade but words hang around forever.”

“Memories fade into dust.”

“Memory fades, memory adjusts, memory conforms to what we think we remember.”

“There were some memories, though, that never faded.”

“Memories are forever.”

“Memories, even your most precious ones, fade surprisingly quickly. But I don't go along with that. The memories I value most, I don't see them ever fading.”

“Looks fade,' Mom would go on. 'But intelligence lasts forever.”

“Funny how the nature of a normal day is the first memory to fade.”

“But the memories that hang heaviest are the easiest to recall. They hold in their creases the ability to change one's life, organically, forever. Even when you shake them out, they've left permanent wrinkles in the fabric of your soul.”

“She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever”
