Quote #7

"You wanna know what I'm sentimental about? Pressia says.

"What?"

"The things I don't remember—stuff I've only heard about" (50.6)

Quote #8

"Memory's a tricky thing. It isn't infinite. It's a net. Your mind is an ocean. We can only dredge so far." (51.91)

Good old Arvin Weed gives us a nice metaphor for our minds. Just like an ocean, our memories are so vast that we can't possibly explore their entirety.
