Kindle Notes & Highlights
“What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it.”
“It is easy to love people in memory; the hard thing is to love them when they are there in front of you.”
“One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory.”
“Ghosts don't haunt people--their memories do.”
“I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.”
“We all have our time machines, don't we. Those that take us back are memories...And those that carry us forward, are dreams.”
“Do not let the memories of your past limit the potential of your future. There are no limits to what you can achieve on your journey through life, except in your mind.”
“Memories warm you up from the inside. But they also tear you apart.”
“Memories are dangerous things. You turn them over and over, until you know every touch and corner, but still you'll find an edge to cut you.”
“If you erase all of your bad memories, you erase all of your wisdom.”
“It's so hard to forget pain, but it's even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.” Chuck Palahniuk, Diary
“Remembering is easy. It's forgetting that's hard.” Brodi Ashton, Everneath
