Remembering is a necessary rebuke to those who say the Holocaust never happened or has been exaggerated.
Living from the perspective at which you came from and returning to source really is an act of remembering, rather than an act of learning.
We all know how to be a child. It's inside all of us. For me, it's just remembering how to enjoy it.
In our dreams we are able to fly. . . and that is a remembering of how we were meant to be.
The fact that only humans above a certain age can be morally virtuous, rather than babies or cats, means that that being moral requires some cognitive ability. If virtue is about desires, it is worth remembering that you can't desire some things without being able to conceive of them. Suppose a virtuous person will desire to make people happy and desire to tell the truth. You can't desire to make people happy without having the concept "happy" and you can't desire to be truthful if you don't have have the concept "lie", so a cat or a baby cannot desire these things.
All learning is remembering. A good teacher causes students to remember what they already know.

The poem, in a sense, is no more or less than a little machine for remembering itself. . . Poetry is therefore primarily a commemorative act.
I know now that when the loving, honest moment comes it should be seized, and spoken, because it may never come again. And unvoiced, unmoving, unlived in the things we declare form heart to heart, those true and real feelings wither and crumble in the remembering hand that tries too late to reach for them.
Forgiving is forgetting, in spite of remembering.
I remembered that, and, remembering that, I remembered everything.
Awareness of the inner body is consciousness remembering its origin and returning to the Source.
[Robert Gottlieb] wouldn't have published 'Remembering Denny'. Denny was a Rhodes Scholar. He was on the swimming team. Had this great California crew cut and this great smile. Life magazine covered his graduation, and Alfred Eisenstaedt photographed it. We all expected him to be president some day. But he committed suicide when he was in his 50s. If he were gay in the 1950s, then the rest of what I wrote was commentary because life was so miserable for gay men back then. And that's why he committed suicide.
