More From Adrienne Rich

You have your wonderful memories," people said later, as if memories were solace. memories are not. memories are by definition of times past, things gone. memories are the westlake uniforms in the closet, the faded and cracked photographs, the invitations to the weddings of the people who are no longer married, the mass cards from the funerals of the people whose faces you no longer remember. memories are what you no longer want to remember.
Memories Past People
The mutability of the past is the central tenet of ingsoc. past events, it is argued, have no objective existance, but survive only in written records and in human memories. the past is whatever the records and the memories agree upon. and since the party is in full control of all records, and in equally full control of the minds of its members, it follows that the past is whatever the party chooses to make it.

Real spiritual journey in life is the discovery of self. i think once you take all the religious bullshit away from jesus christ, it's saying it's about this journey of discovering who you are, and what's really important in life is simply love. that the journey of civilization, the journey of understanding, is forgiveness, is empathy. and that's what humanity is striving for.

Dream Memories Reality
The capacity for people to kid themselves is huge. living on illusions or delusions, and the re-establishing of these illusions or delusions requires a big effort to keep them from being seen through. but a very old idea is at work behind our current state of affairs: enantiodromia, or the greek notion of things turning into their opposite.

He was the class clown, the court jester, because he'd learn early that if you cracked jokes and pretended you weren't scared, you usually didn't get beat up. even the baddest gangster kids would tolerate you, keep you around for laughs. plus, humor was a good way to hide the pain
