Quote by Tobias Wolff

Memory is funny. Once you hit a vein the problem is not how to remember but how to control the flow.

Memory is funny. Once you hit a vein the problem is not how

Summary

This quote highlights the unpredictable and elusive nature of memory. It suggests that recalling a memory is not the challenge, but rather managing the overwhelming rush of memories that can flood one's mind. Like hitting a vein that causes a surge of uncontrollable blood flow, tapping into a memory can result in an abundant influx of recollections. Controlling this flow becomes the task at hand, implying the need to navigate and prioritize memories amidst their overwhelming abundance.
