We seem to live in a world where forgetting and oblivion are an industry in themselves and very, very few people are remotely interested or aware of their own recent history, much less their neighbors'. I tend to think we are what we remember, what we know. The less we remember, the less we know about ourselves, the less we are. (Interview with Three Monkeys Online, October 2008) Anonymous
About This Quote

Remembering the past is the best way to understand it. When we fail to remember, we create false memories that are nothing more than fantasies that serve only to keep us in the dark. The less we know about ourselves, the less informed our decisions will be.
