I don’t dwell on the fact that I may have ridden on planes. That which I can’t remember having needed, I simply accept. It is the most preferable kind of self-insight: one that does not require any accompanying change in behavior.

About This Quote

It is possible that all of the things that you did or did not do, all the adventures you went on or didn’t go on, were because of your memory loss. That is to say, you were acting out of your own free will. If you are able to accept yourself for who you are because you don’t remember all of your life, then I think that is a very good thing.
