teddy: "lenny, you can't trust a man's life to your little notes and pictures."
lenny: "why not?"
teddy: "because your notes could be unreliable."
lenny: "memory's unreliable."
teddy: "oh, please!"
lenny: "no, really. memory's not perfect. It's not even that good."
lenny: "cops doesn't catch a killer by remembering stuff. right? they collect facts, they make notes, then they draw conclusions. FACTS, not MEMORIES..."
lenny: "...look, memory can change the shape of a room. it can change the color of a car. and memories can be distorted. they are just an INTERPRETATION. they are NOT A RECORD. they are irrelevant if you have the facts."
(narrated by lenny)
"you really need a SYSTEM if you're gonna make it work. you kind of learn to trust your own handwriting. that becomes an important part of your life. you write yourself notes. and where you put your notes... that also becomes important. you need a jacket that's got like six pockets in it. particular pockets for particular things. you just kind of learn to know where things go and HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS...... if you have a piece of information that is vital, writing on your body instead of a piece of paper can be the answer. it's just a permanent way of keeping a note."

About memory-2: to remember
Following the facts, and beware of every little detail happening around you. The facts are just fact, but memories answered the question about if we believed in or not. so don’t trust in anything at once.
People might ask :what could we believe then? We usually think of ourselves as the only truthfulness that could count on, but what if we’re not perfect? then how do we know which part of us is dependable (in which way)? maybe that’s how people find their own system, to know the firm and flimsy side of our mind…now there’s the problem: it’s not easy to remember things without any conclusion, so we try to classify thing into different possibility at same time, and keep it until next time we find it happened in the same possibility. take times…and we’ll remember it for good.
here comes another question: what do we do with the short-term memories and a short-term decision?
Lenny once murmured: I know I can’t have her back, but I don’t want to wake up in the morning thinking she’s still here. I lie here not knowing how long I’ve been alone, so how can I heal? How am I suppose to heal if I can’t feel time?
It seems like…if time stop, even things still moved over, they were just going around, like a circle, nothing forward. In another words…if time passed, things go over, old memories being covered (or mixed) with new memories , while body starting forget some habit, mind will easily forget it as well, then the short-term no longer exist, that’s when we built up a long-term memory and remember it as a final conclusion.
but the funny thing is: sometimes even both body and mind forgot it, the short-term decisions used to make left the message hiding somewhere to arouse you , and that little message comes up alone so visible could make you rethinking all the conclusions again.
