I'm still willing to continue living with the burden of this memory. Even though this is a painful memory, even though this memory makes my heart ache. Sometimes I almost want to ask God to let me forget this memory. But as long as I try to be strong and not run away, doing my best, there will finally be someday...there will be finally be someday I can overcome this painful memory. I believe I can. I believe I can do it. There is no memory that can be forgotten, there is not that kind of memory. Always in my heart.

Natsuki Takaya

It's probably a merciful thing that pain is impossible to describe from memory

Christopher Hitchens

Ultimate horror often paralyses memory in a merciful way.

H. P. Lovecraft

Memory, with its fugitive adjustments, is the merciful veil to the grim enactments of the first law. It hides the anguish in the human heart which is always craving for perpetuity.

Stacy Aumonier

You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces, to realize that memory is what makes our lives. Life without memory is no life at all... Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action. Without it we are nothing.

Luis Bunuel

Sometimes justice is at its most merciful when it's blind.

Nancy Gibbs

Sometimes I wanted to take a memory - one perfect memory - curl up in it, and go to sleep.

Kiersten White

It is curious how sometimes the memory of death lives on for so much longer than the memory of the life that is purloined.

Arundhati Roy

[T]he merciful adjustment which nature makes when what cannot be cured must be endured.

Margaret Mitchell

God is erratic, sometimes vindictive, sometimes merciful. The people I was taught were heroes - Jacob or Moses or David - were ambivalent figures, or worse. But that messiness was joyful, and challenging. I loved having a Bible that I could argue with.

David Plotz

Sometimes one feels that it would be merciful to tear down these houses, for they must often dream.

H. P. Lovecraft

The Order of Merciful Aid provided merciful aid, usually on the edge of a blade or the burn of a bullet.

Ilona Andrews

We share a huge visual memory bank, mostly through painting and other images in history. I think when a modern photograph taps into those, sometimes very subliminally, it makes people respond.

Chris Hondros

It is curious how sometimes the memory of death lives on for so much longer than the memory of the life that it purloined. Over the years, as the memory of Sophie Mol ... slowly faded, the Loss of Sophie Mol grew robust and alive. It was always there. Like a fruit in season. Every season. As permanent as a government job.

Arundhati Roy

Sometimes love makes you selfish. Sometimes it makes you stupid. Sometimes it reminds you why you love your gun.

Laurell K. Hamilton

The light of memory, or rather the light that memory lends to things, is the palest light of all. I am not quite sure whether I am dreaming or remembering, whether I have lived my life or dreamed it. Just as dreams do, memory makes me profoundly aware of the unreality, the evanescence of the world, a fleeting image in the moving water.

Eugene Ionesco
