Not everybody can forget. Y’all demolished the building, but that doesn’t erase what happened. It only erases the victims.[to Ms. Yang]
Memory’s like a card catalog but the cards are all mixed up.
I can’t fault you for being shortsighted. I hope you won’t fault me for having a long memory.
Human memory is very powerful. It is more than just knowledge of what has been. It contains feelings of that moment. Memories connect humans even when they are apart, memories of someone you’ve lost.
Human memory is imperfect. Even the most treasured moments fade.
Feelings aren’t like memories. You can’t just pull them out of a file.
Bad memories are like, you know, little bunnies. They get scared, they run back down the hall, they hide. They can be a b**ch to get out again.
As we begin preserving the most essential pieces of civilization, deciding what is remembered, what is forgotten, how will we know what those things are if we can’t even agree on how to count them?
After all, it is our memories which make us monsters, is it not?
Your final moment with someone doesn’t define your whole time with them.
You remembered.[Yennefer]I don’t forget much.[Geralt of Rivia]
You know, when it comes to some of the things that we did in those days, for some of us it’s easier to say nothing. To keep our memories locked away. You can call me a difficult woman. But I couldn’t live with the silence.
