Sarah Manguso Quotes

When I Was Twenty-three I Began Seeing A Psychotherapist Because I Couldn't Bear The Idea That, After The End Of An Affair, All Our Shared Memories Might Be Expunged From The Mind Of The Other, That They Might No Longer Exist Outside My Own Belief They'd Happened. I Couldn't Accept The Possibility Of Being The Only One Who Would Remember Everything About Those Moments As Carefully As I Tried To Remember Them. My Life, Which Exists Mostly In The Memories Of The People I've Known, Is Deteriorating At The Rate Of Physiological Decay. A Color, A Sensation, The Way Someone Said A Single Word - Soon It Will All Be Gone. In A Hundred And Fifty Years No One Alive Will Ever Have Known Me. Being Forgotten Like That, Entering That Great And Ongoing Blank, Seems More Like Death Than Death.
