Quote by Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Why is our memory good enough to recall to the last detail things that have happened to us, yet not good enough to recall how often we have told them to the same person.
Summary
This quote highlights the peculiar nature of human memory. It questions why we can vividly remember events or experiences from our past but struggle to remember how frequently we have shared those same stories with others. It implies that our memory prioritizes the retention of personal experiences rather than the social context in which we share them, suggesting a discrepancy in our ability to recall events and navigate our interactions with others.
