“It is strange how the romances of the teenage years retain a poignancy all through life - how a girl who turns you down when you're 16 retains an aura in your memory even long after you, and she, have ceased to be who you were then. I attended my high school reunion a couple of weeks ago and discovered, in the souvenir booklet assembled by the reunion committee, that one of the girls in my class had a crush on me all those years ago. I would have given a great deal to have had that information at the time.” YearsLongSchoolRomanceTurnsGirlGivenMemoriesDealsClassWeekInformationStrangeCoupleHigh SchoolYears AgoCrushCommitteesTeenageOur MemoriesReunionAurasTeenage YearsSouvenirsPoignancyHigh School ReunionSchool Reunion Book:Roger Ebert's Video Companion Source: Roger Ebert's Video Companion

“There is, perhaps, one universal truth about all forms of human cognition: the ability to deal with knowledge is hugely exceeded by the potential knowledge contained in man's environment. To cope with this diversity, man's perception, his memory, and his thought processes early become governed by strategies for protecting his limited capacities from the confusion of overloading. We tend to perceive things schematically, for example, rather than in detail, or we represent a class of diverse things by some sort of averaged "typical instance.” MenHumansFormProcessMemoriesAbilityDealsClassEnvironmentExampleDiversityPerceptionCapacityUniversalStrategyDetailsConfusionInstancePerceiveDiverseTypicalCognitionThought ProcessUniversal Truth Book:On Knowing: Essays for the Left Hand Source: On Knowing: Essays for the Left Hand
