Wait until you get to my age and Scooter Libby's age. When I was your age my memory was so sharp I could remember conversations weeks after they had occurred. Today, however, if I do not write down the essence of conversations, I simply cannot remember the details at all. I will go to hearings that last all day long and three days later I will forget who was there, what was discussed, what the disposition was. I rely heavily on my notes for everything. I do not rely upon my memory for anything. Memories are not reliable, especially when you get to be Scooter Libby's age.
When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not; but my faculties are decaying now and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any but the things that never happened. - Mark Twain's Autobiography
.
The truth is, a person's memory has no more sense that his conscience, and no appreciation whatever of values and proportions. - Mark Twain in Eruption
.
It isn't so astonishing, the number of things that I can remember, as the number of things I can remember that aren't so. - Mark Twain, a Biography
"I do not rely upon my memory for anything."
