"Nothing can last forever. There isn't any memory, no matter how intense, that doesn't fade out at last." ― Juan Rulfo
"Memory is all we are. Moments and feelings, captured in amber, strung on filaments of reason. Take a man's memories and you take all of him. Chip away a memory at a time and you destroy him as surely as if you hammered nail after nail through his skull." ― Mark Lawrence, King of Thorns
"There are edges around the black and every now and then a flash of color streaks out of the gray. But I can never really grasp any of the slivers of memories that emerge." ― Katie McGarry, Pushing the Limits
"She would grab whatever she could - a look, a whisper, a moan - to salvage from perishing, to preserve. But time is most unforgiving of fires, and she couldn't, in the end, save it all ." ― Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns
"And since we don't just forget things because they don't matter but also forget things because they matter too much because each of us remembers and forgets in a pattern whose labyrinthine windings are an identification mark no less distinctive than a fingerprint's, it's no wonder that the shards of reality one person will cherish as a biography can seem to someone else who, say, happened to have eaten some ten thousand dinners at the very same kitchen table, to be a willful excursion into mythomania" ― Philip Roth, American Pastoral
"And as the years have passed, the time has grown longer.

"It would be dreadfully ironic, I mused, if once I earned a soul, I forgot everything about being fey, including all my memories of her. That sort of ending seemed appropriately tragic; the smitten fey creature becomes human but forgets why he wanted to in the first place. Old fairy tales loved that sort of irony." ― Julie Kagawa
"Time it was And what a time it was, it was A time of innocence A time of confidences

"Not all activities are equal in this regard. Those that involve genuine concentration—studying a musical instrument, playing board games, reading, and dancing—are associated with a lower risk for dementia. Dancing, which requires learning new moves, is both physically and mentally challenging and requires much concentration. Less intense activities, such as bowling, babysitting, and golfing, are not associated with a reduced incidence of Alzheimer's. (254)" ― Norman Doidge
"...Grandpa's mind had left us, gone wild and wary. When I walked with him I could feel how strange it was. His thoughts swam between us, hidden under rocks, disappearing in weeds, and I was fishing for them, dangling my own words like baits and lures." ― Louise Erdrich, Love Medicine
"It's all right if you can't remember. Our subconscious is spectacularly agile. Sometimes it knows when to take us away, as a kind of protection." ― Kathleen Glasgow, Girl in Pieces
"Deep spirit scanning," Eisfanger says. His voice has a strange resonance to it, like I'm hearing him through a bad phone connection. "Don't worry, it's completely safe. Well, mostly."
"Mostly?"
"Side effects have been documented," he admits. "In a very small percentage of cases. Less than two percent."
"What kind of side effects?" Suddenly I'm feeling nauseous. Feels like the ants are crawling around inside me now, which is exactly as disturbing as it sounds.
"Memory loss. Synesthesia. And occasionally … vestigial growths."
"So I could forget my own name, start smelling purple everywhere and have an extra nipple sprout from my forehead?" ― D.D. Barant, Back from the Undead
"You might be the scariest girl I've ever met," he told her. "Let's not be dramatic," she said drily. "I'm the only girl you can remember ever meeting." ― Sherry Thomas, The Perilous Sea
"I've been wondering," Isabelle commented reflectively over dessert, "if it is foolish to make new memories when you know you are going to lose them." ― Erica Bauermeister, The School of Essential Ingredients
"ذاكرتي ضعيفة أعذرني لا أعرفك ، ألست من قال عني مجنون ؟ لايبدو عليَّ النسيان ، سبقني بك الكلام ، هل أنت صاحب النسيان ؟؟" ― Sam Houssami
"Bunnu was no amateur when it came to escape. And even in his drowsiest moments, he understood implicitly that to forget his circumstances, even for a short while, meant first to forget himself. Who he was and why he was—to strip it all bare and start from scratch, as it were. In his nearly 250 years of life and, now, as an old emaciated man completely estranged from his family and closest friends—albeit more by circumstance than by choice—he understood the importance of this process and revered it, for there were far greater things to be done and achieved in the dark, uncertain areas of existence than in those circumscribed—and thereby strained—by comprehensibility." ― Ashim Shanker, Only the Deplorable
"But we can't do anything about getting older. If we live long enough, is forgetting due to Alzheimer's our brain's destiny? For most of us, it is not. Alzheimer's is not a part of normal aging. Only 2% of people with Alzheimer's have the purely inherited early-onset form of the disease. 98% of the time, Alzheimer's is caused by a combination of the genes we inherited and how we live. While we can't do anything about our DNA, science clearly shows that the way we live can dramatically affect the accumulation of amyloid plaques. This in turn means that, like cancer and heart disease, there are things we can do to prevent Alzheimer's." ― Lisa Genova, Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting
"Time would tell how much he would remember, if anything at all. She hoped to high heaven that it was the latter." ― Victoria Lynn, Once I Knew
"Leave me a smile the memory of one hour the taste of a kiss the warmth of a touch I had dreaded silently in the cold of the nights your words of goodbye and loss of memories." ― Rolf van der Wind

"Memory loss saves you from the blows of fate" ― Tamerlan Kuzgov
"Do Not Waste Time Lamenting On Lost Time" ― Don Culloty
"The horror, typically, is only felt by others–the patient, unaware, amnesiac for his amnesia, may continue what he is doing, quite unconcerned, and only discover later that he lost not only a day (as is common with ordinary alcoholic 'blackouts'), but half a lifetime, and never knew it. The fact that one can lose the greater part of a lifetime has peculiar, uncanny horror." ― Oliver Sacks, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat: Oliver Sacks
"He had the enormous memory of royal personnages and family retainers - the memory of those who never read, or reason, or reflect, and whose minds therefore are wholly free to indulge in retrospect." ― Aldous Huxley, After the Fireworks: Three Novellas
