"The function of memory is the protection of impressions, remembranceās aim is their
decomposition. Memory is essentially conservative, remembrance is destructive. Consciousness
originates instead of the trace of remembrance. Becoming conscious and leaving behind a trace of
memory for the same system are incompatible with each other. Remnants of remembrance are often
strongest and longest-lived when the occurrence which left them behind has never entered oneās
awareness." G. Deleuze
