"Without forgetting it is quite impossible to..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“Time, space, and causality are only metaphors of knowledge, with which we explain things to ourselves.”

“In the end one only experiences oneself.”

“He who cannot command himself should obey. And many can command themselves, but much is still lacking before they can obey themselves.”

“The inability to forget is far more devastating than the inability to remember.”

“And the Top spoke no more of his old love; for that dies away when the beloved objects has lain for five years in a roof gutter and got wet through; yes, one does not know her again when one meets her in the dust box.”

“If we remembered everything, we should on most occasions be as ill off as if we remembered nothing. It would take us as long to recall a space of time as it took the original time to elapse, and we should never get ahead with our thinking. All recollected times undergo, accordingly, what M. Ribot calls foreshortening; and this foreshortening is due to the omission of an enormous number of facts which filled them.”

“Sometimes you will never know the value of something,until it becomes a memory.”

“In memory's telephoto lens, far objects are magnified.”

“If I like a thing, it just sticks after once reading it or hearing it.”
