Memory is a great artist. For every man and for every woman it makes the recollection of his or her life a work of art and an unfaithful record.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Memory is the greatest of artists, and effaces from your mind what is unnecessary.
Memory is the personal journalism of the soul.
My greatest inspiration is memory.
The true art of memory is the art of attention.
Maybe I should say that memory interests me a great deal, because I think we all tell stories of our lives to ourselves as well as to other people. Well, women do, anyway. Women do this a lot. And I think when men get older, they do this too, but maybe in slightly different terms.
Memory is the way we keep telling ourselves our stories - and telling other people a somewhat different version of our stories.
All the things we have to remember, and I've mentioned this before, is that we're all artists.
Time and memory are true artists; they remould reality nearer to the heart's desire.
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 a fiction we tell ourselves: just a piece of the truth.
