Memory is the treasure house of the mind wherein the monuments thereof are kept and preserved.

Memory is the mother of all wisdom.

Memory is a way of telling you what's important to you.

A good memory is surely a compost heap that converts experience to wisdom, creativity, or dottiness; not that these things are of much earthly value, but at least they may keep you amused when the world is keeping you locked away or shutting you out.

Memory narrativises itself.

Memory is often less about the truth than about what we want it to be.

A memory is what is left when something happens and does not completely unhappen.

Your memory is a monster; you forget - it doesn't. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you - and summons them to your recall with a will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you!
