“History is the ship carrying living memories to the future.”

“Our memories are thronged with the past; our anticipations range over the future; and it is in the past and the future that we really live. It is so even with the higher animals: they too order their lives by memory and anticipation.”

“It is true that one of the first acts of tyrants is to erase history, to wipe out the recorded memory of a people. With that in mind, it's important to remember that the work that we do as writers, artists and performers will form an essential part of the collective memory that future generations will draw upon. And so we owe it to those future generations to defend that memory and be honest witnesses to our times.”

“And then there is our personal history. Memories only we share. Things not another living soul would understand.”

“Traders (like the Phoenicians) carried their methods as well as their wares to Europe by ship.”

“The future states that there is no time other than the collapsation of that sensation of the mirror of the memories in which we are living. Common knowledge, but important nonetheless.”

“A people's memory is history; and as a man without a memory, so a people without a history cannot grow wiser, better.”

“Memories are the key not to the past, but to the future.”

“a dream is only a memory of the future”

“Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.”
