“You should keep in mind no names, nor numbers, nor isolated incidents, not even results, but only methods..The method produces numerous results; a few of these will remain in our memory, and as long as they remain few, they are useful to illustrate and to keep alive the rules which order a thousand results.” ShouldMindLongOrderNamesMemoriesResultsNumbersAliveProduceThousandMethodIsolatedIncidentsOur Memories Book:Lasker's Manual of Chess Source: Lasker's Manual of Chess
“When I consider the wonderful activity of the mind, so great a memory of what is past, and such a capacity of penetrating into the future: when I behold such a number of arts and sciences, and such a multitude of discoveries hence arising,--I believe and am firmly persuaded that a nature which contains so many things within itself cannot be mortal.” MindBelieveArtPastI BelieveMemoriesNumbersWonderfulActivityDiscoveryCapacityMortalsImmortalityMultitudesArt And Science Author:Marcus Tullius Cicero

“To see something marvelous with your own eyes-that's wonderful enough. But when two of you see it, two of you together, holding hands, holding each other close, knowing that you'll both have that memory for the rest of your lives, but that each of you will only ever hold only have an incomplete half of it, and that it won't ever really exist as a whole until you're together, talking or thinking about that moment ...that's worth more than one plus one.

“When I was a kid growing up in Kentucky, on lucky summer nights, my cousin would pick me up in his Chevy Super Sport and drive me down along the Ohio River to Cincinnati to hear some rock 'n' roll. Those were exciting times, and the bands would play late into the night, rocking soaked in sweat. When I hear the Ready Stance, these memories come back to me and I remember that Cincinnati has produced so many wonderful musicians. The Ready Stance is among that number.

“Computers are good at swift, accurate computation and at storing great masses of information. The brain, on the other hand, is notas efficient a number cruncher and its memory is often highly fallible; a basic inexactness is built into its design. The brain's strong point is its flexibility. It is unsurpassed at making shrewd guesses and at grasping the total meaning of information presented to it.” HandsStrongMemoriesNumbersBrainInformationDesignComputerMassBuiltEfficientAccurateFlexibilityGraspingComputation Author:Jeremy Campbell
“The most important, the longest lasting, the strongest emotional, and the most practiced memories are the ones that are embedded the deepest in the brain, and because we have retrieved them so many times previously, they are the most able to be retrieved. We all hear about people who can remember their youth, their phone number, or street address from 70 years ago, but they cannot recall what they had for breakfast. The memory of this morning's breakfast wasn't rehearsed, and wasn't very important, so it fades away quickly.” PeopleYearsImportantAbleRememberMemoriesNumbersBrainMorningStreetsYouthEmotionalYears AgoPhonesAddressesLastingStrongestBreakfastFadesRecallsEmbeddedFade AwayPhone Numbers Author:Daniel Levitin
“We have good reason to believe that memories of early childhood do not persist in consciousness because of the absence or fragmentary character of language covering this period. Words serve as fixatives for mental images. . . . Even at the end of the second year of life when word tags exist for a number of objects in the child's life, these words are discrete and do not yet bind together the parts of an experience or organize them in a way that can produce a coherent memory.” WayYearsBelieveChildrenEndsReasonCharacterTogetherLanguageMemoriesNumbersConsciousnessChildhoodObjectsProducePeriodsAbsencePersistOrganizeCoveringTagEarly ChildhoodYears Of LifeDiscrete Book:The Magic Years: Understanding and Handling the Problems of Early Childhood Source: The Magic Years: Understanding and Handling the Problems of Early Childhood

“Everybody remembers numbers and computers remember numbers. People remember procedures and computers certainly remember procedures. But the other thing that's still important is that your perception as a human is affected subtly by all this stuff that you can't quite articulate. You run your life according to all this stuff that's happened to you. All of your memories affect everything you do whereas with a computer, there's adaptive software and things, but it's more literal.” PeopleHumansStillsImportantRunningRememberStuffMemoriesNumbersHappenedComputerPerceptionAffectedSoftwareProceduresOur MemoriesLiteralAdaptive Author:Bill Nye

“Since the idea that modification of synaptic function can provide a basis for memory arose shortly after the first anatomical description of the synapse a number of models (Hebb 1949 . .

“Chimpanzees are incredibly intelligent. They can learn more than 400 signs of American Sign Language. They have memories for spatial distribution, like numbers on a TV screen, way better than ours.
