“An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know.

“When you have committed an action that you cannot bear to think about, that causes you to writhe in retrospect, do not seek to evade the memory: make yourself relive it, confront it repeatedly over and over, till finally, you will discover, through sheer repetition it loses its power to pain you. It works, I guarantee you, this sure-fire guilt-eradicator, like a homeopathic medicine - like in small doses applied to like. It works, but I am not sure that it is a good thing.” ThinkingActionPainCausesLosesMemoriesFireBearsMedicineGuiltGood ThingsCommittedNot SureGuaranteesSheerRepetitionDoseRetrospect Author:Mary McCarthy

I ask those who wonder how would you feel if you defended a man charged with murder, who was as innocent as any hon. member in this House at this very moment, who was convicted; whose appeal was dismissed, who was executed; and six months later the star witness for the Crown admitted that he, himself, had committed the murder and blamed it on the accused? That experience will never be effaced from my memory.” IfsMenFeelsMomentsFeelingsAsksHouseStarsMemoriesWonderMonthsMembersSixConcernMurderCommittedInnocentWitnessAppealsCrownsPenaltiesSix MonthsAccusedDeath PenaltyImposition Author:John Diefenbaker

“All previous crimes of the Russian empire had been committed under the cover of a discreet shadow. The deportation of a million Lithuanians, the murder of hundreds of thousands of Poles, the liquidation of the Crimean Tatars remain in our memory, but no photographic documentation exists; sooner or later they will therefore be proclaimed as fabrications.” MemoriesMillionsCrimeShadowMurderCommittedEmpiresSooner Or LaterOur MemoriesDocumentationDiscreetFabricationDeportationLithuanians Author:Milan Kundera
