The past is still visible. The buildings haven't changed, the layout of the streets hasn't changed. So memory is very available to me as I walk around.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Memory is not an instrument for exploring the past but its theatre. It is the medium of past experience, as the ground is the medium in which dead cities lie interred.
There is a way to look at the past. Don't hide from it. It will not catch you if you don't repeat it.
I believe you can remember the future as much as the past.
It's been 25 years now, and truthfully, time sometimes blurs the memory.
The past can be used to renew the present, not just to bury it.
Instead of causing us to remember the past like the old monuments, the new monuments seem to cause us to forget the future.
It's sad to see these old buildings go because they have so many memories, and it's a real personal kind of thing when you play these places. It's part of our history just gone.
It's surprising how much memory is built around things unnoticed at the time.
We live in a moment of history where change is so speeded up that we begin to see the present only when it is already disappearing.
Let the past be content with itself, for man needs forgetfulness as well as memory.
