“People always talk about how hard it can be to remember things - where they left their keys, or the name of an acquaintance - but no one ever talks about how much effort we put into forgetting. I am exhausted from the effort to forget... There are things that have to be forgotten if you want to go on living.”
― Stephen Carpenter, Killer

“What was the point of being able to forgive, when deep down, you both had to admit you'd never forget?”
― Jodi Picoult, The Tenth Circle
