““I have tried so hard to forget, but memory is a stubborn thing. Memories linger no matter what I do. They're there all the time – and worse. Even my dreams aren't safe. I have vicious nightmares, and they're real – too real – and suddenly I'm back there. I can't will them away, I can't squeeze them away, and the more I try the more they burrow in my head. I want to cut open my skull and dig my fingers into my brain and just pull them out.””
![“[...] the first lesson about the nature of memory: what you wish to forget, you may not be able to. What seems to have died, perhaps is just asleep.” quote by Noam Shpancer](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ceb/noam-shpancer-35250_memory_the-first-lesson-about-the-nature-of-mem_2350554.jpg)
