Quote from The Giver

"Confronted by a situation which they had never faced before, and having no memories from which to find either solace or wisdom, they would not know what to do...."

I like the idea that our memories give us solace and wisdom.

    Well said! I also like this quote.

    And, to expand on that concept, our collective memories and recorded memories make up the history we are doomed to repeat if we don't... remember!

    Yes! Have you read The Giver? It's about a community without those memories.
