This experience was a first in 35 years of diary collecting for Sally. In this episode we discuss what happened and talk about the interesting story within this diary. The quote Jeff couldn’t remember exactly was by Heraclitus: “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man”.

“The garden of memory is a paradise from which we can never be devoid.”

October Memorandum Page for 1926. “Some day I will forget. If we both had only waited awhile. Funny how this old world throws people together (you said). Your name will never be written in this book. No one will ever know who you are even if they should steal a glimpse of my diary. Sometimes I have hated you but not for long. If I had only kept the notes, but I burned them long ago. I know them all by heart. The garden of memory is a paradise from which we can never be devoid.” — The diary’s author, name withheld for privacy
