Memory is the scribe of the soul.

Aristotle

Remember that time slurs over everything, let all deeds fade, blurs all writings and kills all memories. Exempt are only those which dig into the hearts of men by love.

"'Lettre d'Aristote à Alexandre sur la politique envers les cités' ('The Letter of Aristotle to Alexander on the Policy toward the Cities')". Arabic text translated and edited by Józef Bielawski and Marian Plezia, p. 72, 1970.

Memory is therefore, neither Perception nor Conception, but a state or affection of one of these, conditioned by lapse of time. As already observed, there is no such thing as memory of the present while present, for the present is object only of perception, and the future, of expectation, but the object of memory is the past. All memory, therefore, implies a time elapsed; consequently only those animals which perceive time remember, and the organ whereby they perceive time is also that whereby they remember.
