Joan CollinsWriting is a futile attempt to preserve what disappears moment by moment. All that remains of my mother is what I remember and what I have written for and about her.

Tom DunneMemory is therefore, neither Perception nor Conception, but a state or affection of one of these, conditioned by lapse of time. As already observed, there is no such thing as memory of the present while present, for the present is object only of perception, and the future, of expectation, but the object of memory is the past. All memory, therefore, implies a time elapsed; consequently only those animals which perceive time remember, and the organ whereby they perceive time is also that whereby they remember.

God will bring every secret thing to judgment, we are told. What warning to our hearts!
