A quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson
“I cannot remember the books I’ve read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
although it might sound great to remember everything, hyperthymestics suffer with the inability to forget the trivial. As Honoré de Balzac once said, “Memories beautify life, but only forgetting makes it bearable.”)
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body and prayer is to the soul. We become the books we read. Matthew Kelly
