“Places get stacked with memories when you live in one place too long and try to cram as much life as possible into a short time, getting old too soon. You can’t take a stroll in the park without walking down memory lane. It’s dangerous. You get potholes in the treadmill of your mind.”
― Aaron Cometbus, Lanky

“The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.”
― Bertrand Russell

“It is very strange to think back like this, although come to think of it, there is no fence or hedge round Time that has gone. You can go back and have what you like if you remember it well enough.”
― Richard Llewellyn, How Green Was My Valley

“A wasting memory is not only a destroyer; it can deny one's very existence. A day unremembered is like a soul unborn, worse than if it had never been. What indeed was that summer if it is not recalled? That journey? That act of love? To whom did it happen if it has left you with nothing? Certainly not to you. So any bits of warm life preserved by the pen are trophies snatched from the dark, are branches of leaves fished out of the flood, are tiny arrests of mortality.”
― Laurie Lee
