MEMORIAL

"Memories have huge staying power, but like dreams, they thrive in the dark, surviving for decades in the deep waters of our minds like shipwrecks on the sea bed. Hauling them into the daylight can be risky. Within a few hours, a precious trophy of childhood or a first romance can crumble into rust."

- J.G. Ballard, "Look Back at Empire," March 4, 2006, The Guardian
