I shall be found with 'Indians' engraved on my brain when I am dead. A fire has been kindled within me, which will never go out.
Some songs are just like tattoos for your brain... you hear them and they're affixed to you.

A mental stain can neither be blotted out by the passage of time nor washed away by any waters.
I would have you imagine, then, that there exists in the mind of man a block of wax... and that we remember and know what is imprinted as long as the image lasts; but when the image is effaced, or cannot be taken, then we forget or do not know.
