It is so hard to forget what it is worse
than useless to remember! ... There is inspiration, that gossip which comes to
the ear of the attentive mind from the courts of heaven. There is the profane
and stale revelation of the barroom and police court. The same ear is fitted to
receive both communications. Only the character of the hearer determines to
which it shall be open, and to which closed.
--Henry David Thoreau
