"For I regard memory not as a phenomenon……" — Stefan Zweig

"For I regard memory not as a phenomenon preserving one thing and losing another merely by chance, but as a power that deliberately places events in order or wisely omits them. Everything we forget about our own lives was really condemned to oblivion by an inner instinct long ago."

— Stefan Zweig
