There are few moments in my life where I really remember what I was doing.

I've forgotten what it's like to remember. I've lost the mindless confidence that a moment, an idea, a thought will be there for me later, the bravado of breezing through experience in the certainty that it will become part of my self, part of my story.

Sometimes I forget some of the things I've done. I recently recalled that after Watergate I went away by myself to Tahiti for a month, moving from island to island. That was a point in my life where I didn't know what was next.

I don't live in the past at all; I'm always wanting to do something new. I make a point of constantly trying to forget and get things out of my mind.

I would like to be forgotten. What's so good about being remembered?

I accomplished something big and that's a memory I will never forget.

I don't know what you're going through life doing if you're not really trying to collect some really great memories.

In this bright future you can't forget your past.

I remember rather little of my life, and what I do remember is of small consequence.

I have been forgetting things for years - at least since I was in my 30s. I know this because I wrote something about it at the time; I have proof. Of course I can't remember exactly where I wrote about it or when, but I could probably hunt it up if I had to.
