About This Quote
Remembering the past is often hard because of what happened. However, if you're not able to forget the past it can be very painful. It is good that remembering the past can cause nightmares or can cause you to feel bad about yourself. Ultimate horror often paralyses memory in a merciful way, meaning that these memories are stored away but don't make it out of your mind.
