Memories Gone Wonder

More From Plutarch

He thinks about her, at this moment, in her house, a few thin walls away, packing her life into boxes and bags and he wonders what memories she is rediscovering, what thoughts are catching in her mouth like the dust blown from unused textbooks. he wonders if she has buried any traces of herself under her floorboards. he wonders what those traces would be if she had. and he wonders again why he thinks about her so much when he knows so little to think about.
Wall Memories Thinking
Although a person acting under authority performs actions that seem to violate standards of conscience, it would not be true to say that he loses his moral sense. instead, it acquires a radically different focus. he does not respond with a moral sentiment to the actions he performs. rather, his moral concern now shifts to a consideration of how well he is living up to the expectations that the authority has of him.
Expectations Focus Acting
Memory is corrupted and ruined by a crowd of memories. if i am going to have a true memory, there are a thousand things that must first be forgotten. memory is not fully itself when it reaches only into the past. a memory that is not alive to the present does not remember the here and now, does not remember its true identity, is not memory at all. he who remembers nothing but facts and past events, and is never brought back into the present, is a victim of amnesia.
Memories Past True Identity
I have a good memory. but i would be interested in memory even if i had a bad memory, because i believe that memory is our soul. if we lose our memory completely, we are without a soul.
Memories Believe Soul
I just really care about what people see. i want them to know that i'm working hard for this. the artists that i look up to like, you know, michael, prince, james brown. you watch them and you understand that they're paying attention to the details of their art. and they care so much about what they're wearing, about how they're moving, about how they're making the audience feel. they're not phoning it in. they're going up there to murder anybody that performs after them or performs before them. that's what i've watched my whole life and admired.
Art Moving People
Sometimes an actor performs a character, but sometimes an actor just performs. with writing, i don't think it's performing a character, really, if the character you're performing is yourself. i don't see that as playing a role. it's just appearing in public.
