There are no distractions when the moon rules the sky.

I have been especially fortunate for about 50 years in having two memory banks available-whenever I can't remember something I ask my wife, and thus I am able to draw on this auxiliary memory bank.

Peter Russell

Memory is not like a container that gradually fills up, it is more like a tree growing hooks onto which memories are hung.
