“The proper memory for a politician is one that knows what to remember and what to forget.”

“I think the secret to a hoppy life is a selective memory. Remember what you are most grateful for and quickly forget what your not.”

“You forget what you want to remember, and you remember what you want to forget.”

“You forget what you want to remember and remember what you would prefer to forget.”

“Memory is identity…. You are what you have done; what you have done is in your memory; what you remember defines who you are; when you forget your life you cease to be, even before your death.”

“Memory is so corrupt that you remember only what you want to; if you want to forget about something, slowly but surely you do.”

“The short memories of the American voters is what keeps our politicians in office.”

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

“It isn't a matter of forgetting. What one has to learn is how to remember and yet be free of the past.”

“you remember what is lost, and you forget what's right in front of you.”
