There comes a time, you see, inevitably there comes a time you have to have a somewhere you can go!”— Fyodor Dostoevsky I don’t care if we have our house, or a cliff ledge, or a cardboard box. Home is wherever we all are, together.”— James Patterson

Celebrate family.This is not to say that all evidence that relies on memory should be discarded or regarded as unreliable – they often provide the most compelling testimony in criminal cases. But it has led to rules and guidelines about how witnesses and victims should be questioned to ensure their recollections of an event or perpetrator are not contaminated by investigators or prosecutors. Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.”— Phyllis Diller The most important thing a man can know is that, as he approaches his own door, someone on the other side is listening for the sound of his footsteps.”— Clark Gable How do great writers and thinkers describe the concept of home? Here are some thoughtful quotes that make you go, “hmmm.” The ache for home lives in all of us. The safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.”— Maya Angelou

Emotion. "Getting married is an example of a highly emotional event. In that circumstance, a whole host of brain chemicals become active as these memories are being recorded," Dr. Budson says. As a consequence, each memory is associated with different states of context. However, some context states will be similar to each other – perhaps because they share the same location, or mood, or have some other factor in common.A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success.” ~Author Unknown

One of the major problems with legal cases involving false memories, is that it is currently impossible to distinguish between true and fictional recollections. Efforts have been made to analyse minor false memories in a brain scanner (fMRI) and detect different neurological patterns, but there is nothing as yet to indicate that this technology can be used to detect whether recollections have become distorted. The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.” ~Henry David ThoreauOh give me a home, where the buffalo roam. Where the deer and the antelope play. Where seldom is heard, a discouraging word. And the skies are not cloudy all day.”— Brewster Higley There is a magic in that little world, home; it is a mystic circle that surrounds comforts and virtues never known beyond its hallowed limits.”— Robert Southey There are, of course, several different types of memory. Forgetting what you intended to buy is different from forgetting someone’s name or what you did last Wednesday. But research on how memory works points to several ways in which our newly constrained environment could be having an impact.
