->My memory is perfect. I remember everything from when I first had the consciousness to understand that this was recollection. I cannot remember being born; perhaps the brain is simply not developed enough to understand the event. [[BornAgainImmortality But I remember dying]]. I remember the moment when it stops.

->''"As you may, or may not know about me, I suffer from a rare neurological condition that requires me to remember just about everything in my life ''all the time''. On the one hand, this condition has ''never'' been useful outside of the odd party trick involving years old gas station receipts dollar values, and even then the money won on bets is negligible and usually spend ''more'' frivolously than even the rest of my money. On the other hand, this condition a -- perhaps -- unique opportunity to channel exact mind states from any lived experience of my life. It's for this purpose, of course, that I have tried to keep my life uninteresting. Because, ''trust me'', there's nothing worse than being trapped in the remembrance of an ''interesting'' experience."''

->"Do you mean to say you remember the whole diary word for word?" "Sure!" John was growing excited. "Like that morning at breakfast? You know, on your first day, when you repeated everything I'd told you?" Nicholas nodded. "Exactly like that. Here, I'll show you." And without hesitating, he launched into another word-for-word repetition of the things John had said the first morning. He didn't get far before John leaped to his feet in amazement. "I can't believe this. You ''still'' remember all that? I mean, I knew you could--but I didn't know you could--" He began to pace excitedly back and forth. "Do you mean to tell me, Nick, that you remember absolutely ''everything''?"
