Every tear, every joy, outlives itself and becomes mere memory.

Memories are fool's gold.

Life is short, but the days are long. Fill them with moments worth remembering.

It's the things one can't forget that drive one insane.

Memories are never as galling as the things one forgets.

Memories are never as painful as the things one forgets.

Memories are never as poignant as the things one forgets.

Memories are a nice place to visit, but a terrible place to live.

The dead have taken leave of themselves ad now reside in us.
