– Albert Einstein
“Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.”

“You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces,
To realize that memory is what makes our lives.
Life without memory is no life at all …
Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action
Without it, we are nothing …”
– Luis Buñuel.
Alzheimer’s … it is a barren disease, as empty and lifeless as a desert. It is a thief of hearts, souls and memories.
– Nicholas Sparks
We don’t forget…. Our heads may be small, but they are as full of memories as the sky may sometimes be full of swarming bees, thousands and thousands of memories, of smells, of places, of little things that happened to us and which came back, unexpectedly, to remind us who we are.
– Alexander McCall Smith
If we lose our memory, we lose ourselves. Forgetting is one of the symptoms of death. Without memory we cease to be human beings.
– Ivan Klima
In literature and art memory is a synonyme for invention. It is the life-blood of imagination, which faints and dies when the veins are empty.
– Robert Aris Willmott
