" In regard to the memory, we must unlearn a great deal: here we meet with the greatest temptation to assume the existence of a 'soul,' which, irrespective of time, reproduces and recognises again and again, etc. What I have experienced, however, continues to live 'in the memory'; I have nothing to do with it when memory 'comes,' my will is inactive in regard to it, as in the case of the coming and going of a thought. Something happens, of which I become conscious: now something similar comes — who has called it forth? Who has awakened it? "

― Friedrich Nietzsche , The Will to Power
