Why Is It That Our Memory Is Good Enough To Retain The Least Triviality
That Happens To Us, And Yet Not Good Enough To Recollect How Often We
Have Told It To The Same Person?
"Why is it that our memory is good enough to retain the least triviality
that happens to us, and yet not good enough to recollect how often we
have told it to the same person?"
-- La Rochefoucauld
