Michael MoorcockTime is the enemy of identity
About This Quote
Time is the enemy of identity. This phrase means that the more time passes, the less we may be able to remember who we were before. One day, we wake up and look in the mirror at our face and find that our features have changed drastically over time. Our memories of who we were in the past become less distinct with each passing year.
