About This Quote

Our nemesis is time, against which we have a single ally, memory, and even it betrays us. The lack of memory causes us to forget the good times we experience and to remember only the bad times. This is why we live in fear of time—we fear aging and death, but we also fear the loss of memory and the loss of life’s experiences.
