recall

It__ not magic. I remember because I make comparisons. Not in terms of better or worse, just different. And not all of these memories are great, but they__e mine.Which lends way to believe, that none of our lives are put together on an assembly line. We__e not pre-packaged with memories or programmed with stories. We have to make our own.

Where were you when I undressed and told the tales of my day?Where were youwhenI was silent with God in prandial pray?Where were youwhen I recited love poems as I lay?Where were you?

I__ tell you what happened, but I can__ remember all of it. And I don't wanna put words in my dreams thoughts.

It__ not that I can__ remember. It__ that I prefer not to remember, which means that I prefer not to remember what not remembering did to me the last time I did it.

Memory is a few lines snipped from a larger story that we are privileged to tuck away between the pages of our minds.

People have an annoying habit of remembering things they shouldn't.

The first lesson of branding: memorability. It's very difficult buying something you can't remember.

Watch a man--say, a politician--being interviewed on television, an you are observing a demonstration of what both he and his interrogators learned in school: all questions have answers, and it is a good thing to give an answer even if there is none to give, even if you don't understand the question, even if the question contains erroneous assumptions, even if you are ignorant of the facts required to answer. Have you ever heard a man being interviewed say, "I don't have the faintest idea," or "I don't know enough even to guess," or "I have been asked that question before, but all my answers to it seem to be wrong?" One does not "blame" men, especially if they are politicians, for providing instant answers to all questions. The public requires that they do, since the public has learned that instant answer giving is the most important sign of an educated man.

When you feel nervous, recall your pride.
