So rare is the union of beauty with modesty.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is unusual to find both beauty and modesty existing together in someone. Beauty often comes with attention and admiration, which can potentially inflate one's ego, leading to a lack of modesty. Modesty, on the other hand, implies a humble and reserved nature, which may downplay one's physical attractiveness. The quote implies that the combination of beauty and modesty is a rare and admirable quality to possess.

Memory is corrupted and ruined by a crowd of memories. If I am going to have a true memory, there are a thousand things that must first be forgotten. Memory is not fully itself when it reaches only into the past. A memory that is not alive to the present does not remember the here and now, does not remember its true identity, is not memory at all. He who remembers nothing but facts and past events, and is never brought back into the present, is a victim of amnesia.
