I feel that her claimed memory loss is really a bunch of baloney. We wouldn't have been happy if she'd have gotten the five years, but it would have at least been more appropriate.

Memory is all we are. Moments and feelings, captured in amber, strung on filaments of reason. Take a man’s memories and you take all of him. Chip away a memory at a time and you destroy him as surely as if you hammered nail after nail through his skull.

He is mostly the same old person, but he does have memory loss.

A meaningful relationship between two people cannot sustain itself only in the present tense.

The pleasure of remembering had been taken from me, because there was no longer anyone to remember with. It felt like losing your co-rememberer meant losing the memory itself, as if the things we'd done were less real and important than they had been hours before.

Nothing can last forever. There isn't any memory, no matter how intense, that doesn't fade out at last.
