Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.

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.
