There's a preoccupation with memory and the operation of memory and a rather rapacious interest in history.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
History is information. Memory is part of your identity.
Memory narrativises itself.
I think history is collective memories. In writing, I'm using my own memory, and I'm using my collective memory.
The 'politics of memory' policy appears to work largely by insinuation.
Memory is a way of telling you what's important to you.
It is curious to note how fragile the memory is, even for the important times in one's life. This is, moreover, what explains the fortunate fantasy of history.
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 is often less about the truth than about what we want it to be.
History is not a burden on the memory but an illumination of the soul.
Memory is a fiction we tell ourselves: just a piece of the truth.
