Greg Olear Quotes
Remembering Is My Only Job And It's Hard Work. We Are Natural-born Amnesiacs, Hardwired To Let Go Of The Past, To Release Ourselves From History; The Only Way To Withstand Our Pain Is To Forget Our Pain. We May Think We Don't Forget, But We Do. Time Wears Down The Rough Edges Of Our Memory, Sure As A Stone On The River Bank Is Smoothed By The Rushing Current. And Like The Eroding Stone, The Memory Fades So Gradually We Don't Even Feel It. We Don't Notice. Eighteen Years Fly By, Whoosh, And We Don't Even Realize That Not Long Ago, We Didn't All Drink Bottled Water, The Soviet Union Loomed As A Threat, Smoking Was Commonplace In Restaurants, And Bono Was Just A Rockstar.
What I Want... All I Want... Is Not To Forget. But It's An Uphill Battle. Over Time, The Image Blurs, The Scent Dissipates, The Memory Fades.
