“I shouldn’t forget this, I thought with the sleeping mask pulled down over my eyes. ”That happens a lot, I thought with the sleeping mask pulled down over my eyes. You remember something and because you remember it, you think you have it, but in fact you don’t. You think because you remember something one moment, you’ll be able to remember it again, pretty much anytime you feel like it. But you’re wrong. You can’t. There’s a last time for everything–memories included. What makes matters worse is there is no way to tell. You can’t tell when you are remembering something for the last time. You can’t tell when you are remembering it that this is the last time, and you can’t tell afterward that that was the last time. The death of a memory goes by necessity unrecorded.”
