I think that when you remember, remember, remember everything like that, you could go on until you remember what was there before you were in the world.

Leo Tolstoy
About This Quote

When you remember, remember, remember everything like that, you could go on until you remember what was there before you were in the world. This quote is actually taken from the book "A Light in the Attic" by Shel Silverstein. The main character in this story, Kayak, falls in love with someone named Bert. Unfortunately their love is not meant to be because Bert has to leave.

However, when Kayak remembers everything he has ever experienced so far, he realizes that he will never truly die. He will forever be remembered and his story will live on forever.
