The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.
The real memories ignite faster because they’re already there on the page.
The oldest memories stick around the longest.
The mark you have left on me is indelible. Anytime I grow nauseous at the sight of a rainbow or hear a pop song that makes my ears bleed, I’ll think of you.[to Enid]
The hardest thing to do is forget. Forget the scars life gives you, forget the scars you gave others.
That’s why I never had artificial eyes put in. If I need a machine to tell me what the world looks like, then I’d rather not see at all. Far better to live in the dark. The only sights worth laying eyes on already exist within my memory.
That’s the thing, is you don’t ever really move on. The people you’ve hurt, the people you’ve lost, you just carry them around with you wherever you go.[to Will]
Talking about the people we’ve lost can make it seem as though they’re still with us.
Take it from a ghost, no one is ever gone.[to Niko]
Robots’ memories can be deleted. Were that it worked on us, I would delete mine in a heartbeat.
Past lives are dangerous places to revisit.
Old memories are like old corpses. They never quite seem the same when you dig them up.
