In biology, the Genesis story is reversed: Adam becomes Adam out of Eve, not the other way around."

I never would have said I didn't like school, and there are moments I distinctly remember enjoying, but these truths don't alter my memory of that place."
"Memory is essential to who we are, and memories can be both implicit and explicit - unconscious and conscious."
