“Time is just memory
Mixed in with Desire.”

“To be a character who feels a deep emotion, one must go into the memory's vault and mix in a sad memory from one's own life.”

“They're just memories now. Time to write them off.”

“Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run, but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant.”

“Desire is the memory of pleasure and fear is the memory of pain. Both make the mind restless. (…)”

“Tonight, I feel like my whole body is made out of memories. I'm a mix-tape, a cassette that's been rewound so many times you can hear the fingerprints smudged on the tape.”

“I'm not confused. I'm just well mixed.”

“Memory chooses to preserve what desire cannot hope to sustain.”

“Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in.”

“Memory creates a hallucination of the past, desire creates a hallucination of the future.”
