“Nothing stands out so conspicuously, or remains so firmly fixed in the memory, as something which you have blundered.”

“There's things that happen in a person's life that are so scorched in the memory and burned into the heart that there's no forgetting them.”

“Nothing improves the memory more than trying to forget.”

“One of the biggest paradoxes of our world: memories vanish when we want to remember, but fix themselves permanently in the mind when we want to forget.”

“Nothing can last forever. There isn't any memory, no matter how intense, that doesn't fade out at last.”

“A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness.”

“Nothing prints more lively in our minds than something we wish to forget.”

“Regrets and apologies are all very well, but there's things that happen in a person's life that are so scorched in the memory and burned into the heart that there's no forgetting them. They're like brands.”

“If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered.”
