Yes, if a memory, thanks to forgetfulness, has been unable to contract any tie, to forge any link between itself and the present, if it has remained in its own place, of its own date, if it has kept its distance, its isolation in the hollow of a valley or on the peak of a mountain, it makes us suddenly breathe an air new to us just because it is an air we have formerly breathed, an air purer than that the poets have vainly called Paradisiacal, which offers that deep sense of renewal only because it has been breathed before, inasmuch as the true paradises are paradises we have lost.<\/span>
\nMarcel Proust<\/span><\/p>\n

Historical memory is fundamental for man, it serves to remind him that his journey through time is full of stupid nonsensical achievements and painful atrocious actions.<\/span>

Recalling the past with the memories of one’s own memory in an attempt to make time flow backwards, bringing our loved ones back to life in one’s imagination, is a process, not without a certain pain, which helps us to get closer more quickly to the end of our days, at the end of our epochal duration.<\/span>
\nCarl William Brown<\/span><\/p>\n

Recalling in our brain the memories of our past life with our loved ones, and above all with one’s mother, has the fundamental function of anesthetizing the pain of our present existence, that is, of trying to eradicate the tragic suffering of our current reality. It is a procedure that helps us deceive the linearity of time, making it more circular and affectionate, as well as more uncertain in its progression.<\/span>

Our memory is a more perfect world than the universe: it gives back life to those who no longer exist. <\/span>
\nGuy de Maupassant<\/span><\/p>\n
