Memory...

"There's a deeper truth in fiction, because memory is faulty." -Christopher Priest, "The Affirmation"

"For if a creature of words wants to escape the inessential determinants of his life, all he need do is storytell his way out of them." -J.M. Coetzee, Stranger Shores

"If people are made out of memory, then people are made out of loss." -Bill Roorbach
