an invention that bottled
up a memory,
like perfume,
and it never faded,
never got stale.
then whenever i wanted to
i could uncork the bottle
and live the memory all over again.

I love this! I think everyone would wish for such a thing. :)
I have probably read that book two dozen times. Whenever I have a memory that's triggered by smell (which happens quite a bit), I always think of this line.
I discovered Rebecca in 6th grade...I think my mom thought I was too young for it but it was my favorite book for years!
I love this! And it's so absolutely true!
Could you imagine if we all had a little shelf on the wall with pretty little unique bottles which held some of our favorite memories, ready to be opened and relived during quiet nostalgic moments.
I love the imagery of it! Thanks for sharing, I love you blog and your inspirational quotes!
Like in the Harry Potter story...
