“It is singular how soon we lose the impression of what ceases to be constantly before us. A year impairs, a lustre obliterates.

—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“Your arm is unvanquished, but not invincible.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)

“Memory is not an instrument for exploring the past but its theatre. It is the medium of past experience, as the ground is the medium in which dead cities lie interred.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
