“Advancing bourgeois society liquidates memory, time, recollection as irrational leftovers of the past.”

“The pure present is an ungraspable advance of the past devouring the future. In truth, all sensation is already memory.”

“The future reshapes the memory of the past in the way it recalibrates significance; some episodes are advanced, others lose purchase.”

“Memory is never pure. And recollection is always coloured by the life lived since”

“It is not easy to be wise for all times, not event for the present much less for the future; and those who judge the past must recollect that, when it was the present the present was future”

“We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.”

“A key ingredient in authentic Christianity is time. Not leftover time, not throwaway time, but quality time. Time for contemplation, meditation and reflection. Unhurried, uninterrupted time.”

“You couldnt erase everything that caused you pain with recollection. Every memory was valuable; even the bad ones”

“Memory believes before knowing remembers. Believes longer than recollects, longer than knowing even wonders.”

“In short, the rules of behaviour in capitalist society systematically produce irrational consequences.”
