Alan Moore. Batman. Killing joke (№ 241122)

Remember? I would in your place did not. Memories threat. The past is full of worry and anxiety. The bad old days, you could say. Memory is so treacherous. First she brings you a bouquet of pleasures. Touching mother smells of childhood, the magical glow of youth, all that tinsel. And then she will lead you where you do not want to go back. Where cold and dark, where in the fog are wandering vague shadows that, as you had hoped, will never return. Memories, these little bastards can be mean and nasty. Just as children are. But can we live without them? In the end, memory is the basis of reason. And therefore, we reject the mind, if you can't reconcile with its own past. On the other hand, why not? No one seems to be not associated with the mind long-term commitments. Why should all the time be of sound mind and memory? So, in the event of an unsuccessful turn of your thoughts, if you at full speed entered in the area of memory where there is an unbearable horror, remember: madness is always there. Madness is the emergency exit. You can just step across the threshold, leaving behind this whole nightmare, and lock the door. Dissociate itself from him forever.
