“To have a good memory the first thing you have to do is to trust your memory.”

“I have a good memory for certain things. And a very short memory for painful things — that's my favorite Martha Stewart quote, by the way.”

“Your memory is a monster; you forget—it doesn’t. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you—and summons them to your recall with a will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you!”

“A good liar must have a good memory. Kissinger is a stupendous liar with a remarkable memory.”

“If you tell the truth, you don't have to have a good memory. If you lie, you're always tripping over your own tie.”

“Tell me of a happy memory, Zarek. One thing in your life that was good. (Astrid)
You. (Zarek)”

“Things are revealed through the memories we have of them. Remembering a thing means seeing it—only then—for the first time.”

“At some point, your memories, your stories, your adventures, will be the only things you'll have left.”

“To be in your children's memories tomorrow,
You have to be in their lives today.”

“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.”
