Deadhouse Gates (Malazan Book of the Fallen, #2)

by Steven Erikson

You dream that with memories will come knowledge, and from knowledge, understanding. But for every answer you find, a thousand new questions arise. All that we were has led us to where we are, but tells us little of where we’re going. Memories are a weight you can never shrug off.”

Though I appreciate the intellectual stimulation of each answer exploding into new questions, I wish that memories were not a weight you can never shrug off.
