why “i remember”?

Perhaps everybody has a garden of Eden. Then, perhaps, life only offers the choice of remembering the garden or forgetting it. Either, or: it takes strength to remember, it takes another kind of strength to forget, it takes a hero to do both. The world is mostly divided between madmen who remember and madmen who forget. Heroes are rare. — James Baldwin
