Mem Quotes

I`m getting more comfortable now, but it will never get to the point as if you are doing it in your own language. When I say `I love you` or `I hate you` in Spanish, many things come to my mind, aspects of my own life. When I say it in English, I don`t have the memories.

If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient; at others, so bewildered and so weak; and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control! We are, to be sure, a miracle every way; but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out.
