“Forgetfulness heals everything and song is the most beautiful manner of forgetting, for in song man feels only what he loves.”

“There are beautiful sounds in rock. Very lazy, dreamlike noises. You can forget about the lyrics in most songs. Just dig the noise, and you've got your sound… We're musical primitives.”

“Somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it at all.”

“Don't think I was the only reason he healed. You're his light, Marissa. Don't ever forget that.”

“I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.

--From the poem "Mad Girl's Love Song”

“No one will ever forget that night, and what it meant for this country. But I will never forget the man and what he meant to me.”

“Man believes that the world itself is filled with beauty — he forgets that it is he who has created it. He alone has bestowed beauty upon the world — alas! only a very human, an all too human, beauty.”

“You don't love a girl because of beauty. You love her because she sings a song only you can understand.”

“I've made a song for the poorly loved
And songs for everything I grieved –
For unaccompanied slave and shark,
For queens who've gone into the dark.”

“199. For to wish to forget how much you loved someone—and then, to actually forget—can feel, at times, like the slaughter of a beautiful bird who chose, by nothing short of grace, to make a habitat of your heart.”
