If you want to keep your memories, you first have to live them.
Sometimes you just have to bite your upper lip and put sunglasses on.

Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them.
Whatever that ["transfiguration" by Bob Dylan] means, it's true that the poetic brilliance of the early career would never really reappear.
