Balanced degree of memory

To form our basic sense of self and consciousness we need to have a fine balanced degree of memory.

"Memory has to be strong enough to enable us to act without forgetting what we wanted to do, to learn without ceasing to be the same person, but it also has to be weak enough to allow us to keep moving into the future."

(Italo Calvino)
