“Speed, the demon of speed, is often associated with forgetting, with avoidance. And slowness with memory and confronting. We move slowly when we want to listen to ourselves; we move slowly when we want to listen to others and the world around us. We move slowly when we want to accept ourselves. The rush of contemporary life overwhelms us and our ability to observe, to hear, to stop, and to wonder. Society, and its speed, wants to blow out the tiny flame of memory.”  - Milan Kundera
