A world that won't forget is a world drowned in its not forgetting. Do we want a world full of unedited memory? To be human is to be finite.

About This Quote

If we keep a world so full of unedited memory, we may lose the essence of what it is to be human. Your memories are finite and you cannot afford to hold onto every moment. What would be more important is to look at each moment as a chance to learn from it and move forward.
