If you remember how much easier it is to remember what you would rather forget than remember, than remember what you would rather remember than forget, then you can’t forget how much easier it is to forget what you would rather remember than forget, than forget what you would rather forget than remember.
– Elmira Gazette, quoted in New York Times, Feb. 13, 1891
I read this quote in a book a few years ago, Ive been searching for over an hour and I cant find it anywhere. Maybe you can shed some light??
