Memory Matrix

Famous quotes containing the words memory and/or matrix:

“The memory ... experiencing and re-experiencing, has such power over one’s mere personal life, that one has merely lived.”

“As all historians know, the past is a great darkness, and filled with echoes. Voices may reach us from it; but what they say to us is imbued with the obscurity of the matrix out of which they come; and try as we may, we cannot always decipher them precisely in the clearer light of our day.”
—Margaret Atwood (b. 1939)
