eternal sunshine of the spotless mind...

"Blessed are the forgetful, for they get the better even of their blunders.

-from Friedrich Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil"

"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd..."

-from Alexander Pope's poem "Eloisa to Abelard"
