If you remember how much easier it is to remember what you would rather forget than remember, than remember what you would rather remember than forget, then you can’t forget how much easier it is to forget what you would rather remember than forget, than forget what you would rather forget than remember.
– Elmira Gazette, quoted in New York Times, Feb. 13, 1891

A very clever lady. Trying to forget is even harder than trying to remember.
Thanks.
Also, trying to forget is usually painful, whereas unsuccessfully trying to remember is just frustrating.
Thanks for your comment.
