Vladimir NabokovI think it is all a matter of love the more you love a memory the stronger and stranger it becomes
About This Quote
Love is a powerful force that can make a person feel a lot of emotions. Memories are a great way to spark those emotions. When you see your childhood home, you feel the pain of losing it as well as the joy of finding it again. However, as you get older, you start to forget the details and the feeling of the memory begins to fade.
As you start to forget, even memories that were once real become blurry and hard to recall. This quote tells us that we can bring back those faded memories by giving them love and appreciation. If we give these memories love and appreciate them for who they are, they will become stronger and more real than ever before.
As we grow older, we will find ourselves reminiscing about our childhood and missing those locations that we used to call home. The more we love these memories, the more real they become and the less likely we will be to forget them.
