More From Mary Karr

Memory is corrupted and ruined by a crowd of memories. if i am going to have a true memory, there are a thousand things that must first be forgotten. memory is not fully itself when it reaches only into the past. a memory that is not alive to the present does not remember the here and now, does not remember its true identity, is not memory at all. he who remembers nothing but facts and past events, and is never brought back into the present, is a victim of amnesia.
Memories Past True Identity
They call me corrupt, frivolous. i am not at all privileged. maybe the only privileged thing is my face. and corrupt? god! i would not look like this if i am corrupt. some ugliness would settle down on my system.

I have a good memory. but i would be interested in memory even if i had a bad memory, because i believe that memory is our soul. if we lose our memory completely, we are without a soul.
Memories Believe Soul
The old catholic church traditions are worth more than all you have said. here is a principle of logic that most men have no more sense than to adopt. i will illustrate it by an old apple tree. here jumps off a branch and says, i am the true tree, and you are corrupt. if the whole tree is corrupt, are not its branches corrupt? if the catholic religion is a false religion, how can any true religion come out of it? if the catholic church is bad, how can any good thing come out of it?
