No matter how vivid memories may be, they can’t win out against the power of time.

People's memories are maybe the fuel they burn to stay alive.

After Dark (2004)

Precipitate as weather, she appeared from somewhere, then evaporated, leaving only memory.

You can hide memories, but you can't erase the history that produced them.

Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage (2013)
