"If you never tell anyone the truth about yourself, eventually you start to forget.

And then I would disappear."

"Never hide your fear because it will become your own God, hidden inside you."

"Whatever I learned,Whatever I knew,Seems like those faded years of childhood that flew,Away in some dilemma,Always in some confusion,The purpose of this life,Seems like an illusion!"

"Once a Ponce a time she made me feel like a conquistador. Now her memory is just a breeze seen in swaying Spanish moss."

"When I die, remember to remove my body from the cooler before you start making the hunch punch. But by all means, do get drunk on my memory."

"You must give everything to make your life as beautiful as the dreams that dance in your imagination."

"My goal is to be as forgiving as a man with amnesia, but love as if I remember and cherish all the things you do that make me smile."

"Forbidden to remember, terrified to forget; it was a hard line to walk."

"Trying to remember a dream from a decade ago is like trying to catch fog in a coffee filter. I could subsist on morning mist."

"We all have an old knot in the heart we wish to untie."
