About This Quote
This quote is often used in the context of memory. As with so many other things in life, how we remember things is often a matter of opinion. Even when memories are correct they can be altered by what you want to remember and what your heart allows you to remember. A person might recall an event that happened to them many years ago but might ignore or forget something that happened today.
