Only constant repetition will finally succeed in imprinting an idea on the memory of the crowd.
There is no memory or retentive faculty based on lasting impression. What we designate as memory is but increased responsiveness to repeated stimuli.
Women and elephants never forget an injury.
I have short-term memory loss. I know that some of the memories of the Super Bowl championships are fading.
Why are women so fond of raking up the past? They're as bad as tailors, who invariably remember what you owe them for a suit long after you've ceased to wear it.
I am slow to learn and slow to forget that which I have learned. My mind is like a piece of steel, very hard to scratch any thing on it and almost impossible after you get it there to rub it out.
You could double the number of synaptic connections in a very simple neurocircuit as a result of experience and learning. The reason for that was that long-term memory alters the expression of genes in nerve cells, which is the cause of the growth of new synaptic connections.

Memory is so crazy! It's like we've got these drawers crammed with tons of useless stuff. Meanwhile, all the really important things we just keep forgetting, one after the other.
Memory has always fascinated me. Think of it. You can recall at will your first day in high school, your first date, your first love.
A person's memory is everything, really. Memory is identity. It's you.
People forget years and remember moments.
I forgive nothing. If you stole my orange crayon in the fifth grade, you're still on my hit list, buddy.

Over time, I've paid attention, taken notes and forgotten easily half of everything I've gone through.
I have a phenomenal memory. I remember every single thing that anybody said to me, ever did to me, who was nice to me and who was not nice to me.
I have a memory like an elephant. I remember every elephant I've ever met.
The older you get the more new memories get wiped out, and you end up remembering more about your early life than what you did last week.
