“We might not be the ones to change the world. We might not belong to the few that “put a ding in the universe.” We might not be something the whole world would celebrate. But...In the little corners that we live; in the lives that we’ve played a part in, we should be nothing but unforgettable.”
― Nesta Jojoe Erskine, Unforgettable: Living a Life That Matters

“I often think about her. One thing she said stayed with me, a dagger in my heart: "You know for me the most horrible thing of all is knowing that he will forget me."

I lacked the presence of mind to tell her that it was impossible; she was simply unforgettable.”
― Ingrid Betancourt, Even Silence Has an End: My Six Years of Captivity in the Colombian Jungle

“Someone asked me, "What does it mean to be unforgettable?" and I answered, "Being unforgettable means having an absence that is felt just as much as your presence." An absence that is felt just as strongly as the presence.

Today, people strive to become unforgettable and they believe the way to achieve this is by constantly reminding others of their attributes and their existence, lest they are forgotten. Lest anyone forget they are beautiful or talented or powerful. But that is not unforgettable; that is desperation.

Absence is an attribute, this is what people do not know! Absence is an attribute just as much as presence is. When people feel your absence just as much, or perhaps even more than, they feel your presence-- this is what it means to be unforgettable.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“She refused at first, saying it would make a mockery of their love. She loved him too much to admit that what she thought of as unforgettable could ever be forgotten.

― Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting

“- OK, suponhamos que vai à copa - disse ela -, e duas pessoas que quem gosta estão lá, suponhamos que uma das pessoas está a contar uma história divertida, você ri-se um pouco, sente-se incluído, toda a gente tem tanta graça, e volta para a sua secretária com uma espécie de, não sei, brilho, mas depois às quatro ou cinco da tarde o dia transformou-se em apenas mais um, e continua assim, a ansiar pelas cinco da tarde e depois pelo fim de semana e depois pelas duas ou três semanas de férias pagas anuais, dia após dia, e é isso que acontece à sua vida.”
― Emily St. John Mandel, Station Eleven

“Clark observa a actividade nocturna na pista, os aviões que estão parados à vinte anos, o reflexo da sua vela bruxuleante no vidro. Não tem esperança de ver um avião levantar voo novamente no seu tempo de vida, mas será possível que nalgum lugar haja navios a partirem? Se houver cidades com iluminação pública, se existem sinfonias e jornais, que mais pode conter este mundo que agora desperta? Talvez haja navios a içar velas neste preciso momento, a viajar em direcção a ele ou para longe dele, tripulados por marinheiro armados com mapas e conhecimento das estrelas, impulsionados pela necessidade, ou talvez simplesmente pela curiosidade: o que foi feito dos países do outro lado? É, pelo menos, agradável considerar essa possibilidade. Agrada-lhe a ideia de haver navios que se deslocam sobre as águas, em direcção a outro mundo fora do alcance da vista.”
― Emily St. John Mandel, Station Eleven

“Or maybe our paths will diverge someday, taking us in separate directions, making our relationship a brief but beautiful spot in a series of unforgettable encounters. Either way, it will be a journey worth taking. Either way, it will be a love story.”
― Crystal Cestari, The Best Kind of Magic

“We all can’t paint like Van Gogh. We might not be the ones who found cure for cancer or invented flying shoes but it doesn’t mean we can’t own a spot in the sands of time.”
― Nesta Jojoe Erskine, Unforgettable: Living a Life That Matters

“To be remembered is a simple thing to do. The fact is, people don’t miss others just because they feel like missing them. It’s when your absence leaves a vacuum that people miss you. Unforgettable is about creating your own space—a space that would be left bare in your absence.”
― Nesta Jojoe Erskine, Unforgettable: Living a Life That Matters

“We all want to be remembered for something. We have children, we paint, we write, we fight, we conquer. We leave behind marks on the fabric of humanity, and while some are content to stay in the background, some of us want to make those marks as vivid and overwhelming as possible. We don't just want to be remembered. We want to be unforgettable.”
― J.T. Ellison, Her Dark Lies

― Nesta Jojoe Erskine, Unforgettable: Living a Life That Matters

“Up until now, I still think of that boy. I still hear the words of his dad echoing in my head as I write this, and now, I’m asking myself, “Why did I fail to follow the path the parent was directing his ward?” The answer makes me very ashamed: “I didn’t know the advice could as well be applicable to me.”
― Nesta Jojoe Erskine, Unforgettable: Living a Life That Matters

“I heard a tune from Aaron Neville floating out of someone's window on the other end of the street. I could tell it was him from the trembling, angelic quality of the voice. I'm no music connoisseur, but once you hear something like that you never forget it.
That was the thing about New Orleans. Even in the morning, with the city all quiet like it was now, you could do something as simple as turning a corner and you might find someone weeping, or someone singing, or praying, or laughing hysterically, or harming or charming someone else. It took getting used to.”
― Margot Berwin, Scent of Darkness

“Being boring is as likely as being interesting to make one impossible to forget.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“Her hands groped around his neck, her fingers lacing through the thick shorn locks at the back of his head. The hard, clean contours of Keir's face rubbed against hers, a different feeling than the coarse tickle of his beard. But the mouth was the same, full and erotic, searingly hot. He consumed her slowly, searching with his tongue, licking deep into each kiss. Wild quivers of pleasure went through her, weakening her knees until she had to lean against him to stay upright. As her head tilted back, a forgotten tear slid from the outer corner of her eye to the edge of her hairline. His lips followed the salty track, absorbing the taste.
Keir cradled her cheek in his hand, his shaken whisper falling hotly against her mouth. "Merry, love... my heart's gleam, drop of my dearest blood... you should have told me."
Merritt heard her own weak reply as if from a distance. "I thought... in some part of your mind... you might have wanted to forget."
"No." Keir crushed her close, nuzzling her hard against her hair and disheveling the pinned-up coils. "Never, love. The memory slipped out of reach for a moment, is all." His hand coasted slowly up and down her spine. "I'm so damned sorry for the way I've been trying to keep you at a distance. I dinna know you were already inside my heart." He paused before adding wryly, "Mind, I did have to jump from a three-story window, with little to break the fall but my own hard head." Taking one of her hands, he pressed her palm over his pounding heartbeat. "But you were still in here. Your name is carved so deep, a million years could no' erase it.”
― Lisa Kleypas, Devil in Disguise

“You won't miss me anyway," I tell Sebastian, my voice breaking on the last word. "You have each other."
I turn on my heels, leaving Carole and Keith to reason with a still-arguing Lucia. I keep my head down as I descend the hill toward Rockford Manor, not noticing that I'm being followed until I feel a hand on my shoulder.
"It's not true, what you said."
I turn around at Sebastian's voice, feeling a strange swooping in my stomach as I face him.
"What isn't true?"
"That I won't miss you. Because I will. I'll miss you every summer and every holiday if you don't come back," he says, looking at me earnestly. "I'll miss you every time I see a bellflower or anything else that reminds me of my friend Ginny Rockford."
Tears prick at the back of my eyelids as he speaks. He can't know how much his words mean to me; how they make everything simultaneously better and worse. But before I can answer, Sebastian bends down and brushes his lips against my cheek. I gasp, reaching up to touch my face in awe. Nothing should be able to make me feel happy after all I've just lost--- but this kiss, platonic though it may be, gives me a moment of pure joy.
"Goodbye, Ginny," he says softly. "Till we meet again."
"Goodbye," I echo, still touching my cheek as he walks back to rejoin Lucia. When he's no longer within earshot, I whisper, "I'll never forget you.”
― Alexandra Monir, Suspicion

“I have just described an unforgettable event in my life, and yet I hardly ever get a chance to speak of it. It doesn't fit the framework of social discourse.”
