The moral backbone of literature is about that whole question of memory. To my mind it seems clear that those who have no memory have the much greater chance to lead happy lives.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To my mind, it seems clear that those who have no memory have the much greater chance to lead happy lives. But it is something you cannot possibly escape: your psychological make-up is such that you are inclined to look back over your shoulder.
One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory.
I don't really care how I am remembered as long as I bring happiness and joy to people.
Memory isn't a theme; it's part of the human condition.
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.
Happiness is good health and a bad memory.
There is not any memory with less satisfaction than the memory of some temptation we resisted.
One lives in the hope of becoming a memory.
Nothing is more responsible for the good old days than a bad memory.
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.
