I steeled myself to focus only on the present yet remain alert to what might come next.

If you reflect upon your own highest moments or peak experiences. You will probably also remember them as moments of great pleasure, even ecstasy.

Memory, keep those eyes just as they were. / And memory, whatever you can salvage of that passion of mine, / whatever you can, bring back to me tonight.

These are the moments for which we live.

Hold fast to the diary from today on! Write regularly! Don't surrender! Even if no salvation should come, I want to be worthy of it every moment.

Remember me for these days, not the old ones.

A few times in my life I’ve had moments of absolute clarity. When for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp and the world seems so fresh. It’s as though it had all just come into existence.
I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be.

When we face with a steady eye the difficulties which lie before us, we may derive new confidence from remembering those we have already overcome.

Memoria selectiva para recordar lo bueno,
prudencia lógica para no arruinar el presente, y optimismo desafiante para encarar el futuro.

Promise yourself to forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

I cling to my memories of glorious desperation.

I need to remember to overcome.

It's better to have something to remember than anything to regret.

Do something worth remembering.
