Quote by Baltasar Gracian

The things we remember best are those better forgotten.

The things we remember best are those better forgotten.

Summary

This quote suggests that some memories, particularly the ones we wish to forget, tend to stick in our minds more prominently than others. It implies that despite our efforts in trying to move on and let go of certain events or experiences, they have a way of staying with us. This could be due to their emotional impact or the lessons they taught us. Ultimately, it highlights the paradoxical nature of memory, where sometimes the things we most want to forget are the ones we remember most vividly.
