• Memory is corrupted and ruined by a crowd of memories. If I am going to have a true memory, there are a thousand things that must first be forgotten. Memory is not fully itself when it reaches only into the past. A memory that is not alive to the present does not remember the here and now, does not remember its true identity, is not memory at all. He who remembers nothing but facts and past events, and is never brought back into the present, is a victim of amnesia.

  Thomas Merton

• For historians, hindsight can be a treacherous ally. Enabling us to trace the hidden patterns of past events, it beguiles us with the mirage of inevitability, the assumption that different outcomes lay beyond the limits of the possible.

• La diferencia entre escribir una historia y simplemente relatar hechos pasados es que una historia, para ser aceptable, debe tener forma y significado. Es la vieja idea de que el arte es poner orden en el caos.

• I think Santa Claus is, by and large, quite beneficial, for when the child is finally allowed -- or forced -- to recognize the nonexistence of Santa Claus, then the child is able to go through the vital intellectual process of reconstructing reality in light of new evidence, complete with back-forming new stories to account for past events. This prepares the child for many other disillusionments and gives her vital and well-supported experience in maintaining her grip on reality independent of the stories told to her at any given time.

  Orson Scott Card

• La ciencia histórica no es peor, más restringida o menos capaz de alcanzar conclusiones firmes porque el experimento, la predicción y la subsunción bajo leyes invariables de la naturaleza no representen sus métodos habituales de trabajo. Las ciencias de la historia utilizan un modo de explicación diferente, arraigado en la riqueza comparativa y observacional de nuestros datos. No podemos ver directamente un acontecimiento del pasado, pero la ciencia suele basarse en la inferencia, no en la observación sin ambages (tampoco se ven los electrones, la gravedad o los agujeros negros).

• I don't believe people let things slide away. It's the nature of the universe that everything dissolves into oblivion and by every route possible, but human beings invest a lot of cleverness trying to cling to past events, real or imagined. And because we can't succeed, we get angry and frustrated and feel guilty. Except the Buddhists.

  Robert Reed

• Those of us who obsess over every word and action are constantly recalling past events, but that doesn't make them any less painful, nor does it help us transcend them. To write memoir, you have to not only recollect past events, you have to revisit them. You have to get back to the mental and emotional state you were in during those events.
