Women worry about the things that men forget; Men worry about the things that women remember.

Now, women forget all the things they don't want to remember, and remember everything they don't want to forget. The dream is the truth. Then they act and do things accordingly.

When men do not forget what can be forgotten but forget what cannot be forgotten - that may be called true forgetting.

...modern man does not think about current problems; he feels them. He reacts, but he does not understand them any more than he takes responsibility for them. He is even less capable of spotting any inconsistency between successive facts; man's capacity to forget is unlimited. This is one of the most important and useful points for the propagandist, who can always be sure that a particular propaganda theme, statement, or event will be forgotten within a few weeks.

Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the same horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men.

Now, women forget all those things they don't want to remember, and remember everything they don't want to forget. The dream is the truth. Then they act and do things accordingly.

I hate women because they always remember where things are.

Men apt to promise, are apt to forget.

When women go wrong, men go right after them.

People who remember court madness through pain, the pain of the perpetually recurring death of their innocence; people who forget court another kind of madness, the madness of the denial of pain and the hatred of innocence; and the world is mostly divided between madmen who remember and madmen who forget.

No word matters. But man forgets reality and remembers words.

Men always forget that human happiness is a disposition of mind and not a condition of circumstances.

Yes, suddenly I saw it clearly: most people deceive themselves with a pair of faiths: they believe in <i>eternal memory</i> (of people, things, deeds, nations) and in <i>redressibility</i> (of deeds, mistakes, sins, wrongs). Both are false faiths. In reality the opposite is true: everything will be forgotten and nothing will be redressed. The task of obtaining redress (by vengeance or by forgiveness) will be taken over by forgetting. No one will redress the wrongs that have been done, but all wrongs will be forgotten.

For whoever believes that great advancement and new benefits make men forget old injuries is mistaken.

I’m like that. Either I forget right away or I never forget.
