Or should one call it, rather, the Penelope work of forgetting? ... And is not his work of spontaneous recollection, in which remembrance is the woof and forgetting the warp, a counterpart to Penelope's work rather than its likeness? For here the day unravels what the night has woven. When we awake each morning, we hold in our hands, usually weakly and loosely, but a few fringes of the tapestry of a lived life, as loomed for us by forgetting. However, with our purposeful activity and, even more, our purposive remembering each day unravels the web and the ornaments of forgetting.","author":"Walter Benjamin","tags":["forgetting","memory"],"id":10163,"author_id":"Walter+Benjamin"},{"text":"What was the point of being able to forgive, when deep down, you both had to admit you'd never forget?","author":"Jodi Picoult","tags":["forgetting","forgiveness"],"id":10224,"author_id":"Jodi+Picoult"},{"text":"Nothing stays forgotten for long, Elly.

In other words, forgetting is a twin; its tandem effect is best called 'simultancous' distraction, the instant when one memory defoliates another. This fuzzy double - one devouring the other - presumably inhibits learning.","author":"Norman Klein","tags":["docufables","forget","forgetting","history","historyofforgetting","la","memory","science","social-science"],"id":15664,"author_id":"Norman+Klein"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":179,"pages":18,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
