You know, they straightened out the Mississippi River in places, to make room for houses and liveable acreage. Occasionally the river floods these places. "Floods" is the word they use, but in fact it is not flooding; it is remembering. Remembering where it used to be. All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was.
Toni Morrison, from The Site of Memory
Time and memory merge into each other; they are like the two sides of a medal.
Andrei Tarkovsky, from Sculpting in Time
