“ There are two memories! One is the memory rhetoric, the other is the memory of education.
Memory rhetoric is psycologically necessary , but leaves no sign.
The educational memory collects the historical lesson of subjective experience and results in standards, in the knowledge that inform social behavior .
The educational memory allows you to leave your hereditary mark even when the memory trace with the passage of time inevitably turns off”
