Like to a coin, passing from hand to hand,
Are common memories, and day by day
The sharpness of their impress wears away.
-Arlo Bates

Our memory is like a sieve, the holes of which in time get larger and larger; the older we get, the quicker anything intrusted to it slips from the memory, whereas what was fixed fast in it in early days is there still.
-Arthur Schopenhauer

Memory like books that remain a long time shut up in the dust needs to be opened from time to time; it is necessary, so to speak, to open the leaves, that it may be ready in time of need.
-Seneca
