"It's a Man's Mans' World" - James Brown, Sex Machine

"Memory is a primary and fundamental faculty, without which none other can work; the cement, the bitumen, the matrix in which the other faculties are imbedded; or it is the thread on which the beads of man are strung, making the personal identity which is necessary to moral action. Without it all life and thought were an unrelated succession."

"Killing Texas" - Eksi Ekso, I Am Your Bastard Wings, 2008

"As there is strength in the wild horse which is never regained when he is once broken by training,...so there is a wild memory in children and youth which makes what is early learned impossible to forget; and perhaps in the beginning of the world it had most vigor. Plato deplores writing as a barbarous invention which would weaken the memory by disuse. The Rhapsodists in Athens it seems would recite at once any passage of Homer that was desired. "

"We learn early that there is a great disparity of value between our experiences; some thoughts perish in the using. Some days are bright with thought and sentiment, and we live a year in a day. "
