But that's how memory works, " Bitterblue said quietly. "Things disappear without your permission, then come back again without your permission." And sometimes they came back incomplete and warped.

But that's how memory works,
But that's how memory works,
But that's how memory works,
But that's how memory works,
About This Quote

The quote from the novel "The Grisha" by Leigh Bardugo, describes how memory can be unreliable and can distort what we see and know about the past. Memory is like a jigsaw puzzle: If you arrange all of the pieces correctly, it looks like a picture. However, if you join up all of the wrong pieces, it will look like a mess. It’s impossible to know who did what or when or why without the whole puzzle.
