“Reader, memory inevitably fails you.”
— Italo Calvino

Simplified Meaning:
Everyone forgets things sometimes; it's a normal part of life. For example, you might read a book and love it, but later, you can't remember all the details or the exact words. This happens because our brains can't hold onto every piece of information. Over time, memories fade and we recall only bits and pieces. This idea tells us not to worry too much about forgetting and to understand it happens to everyone. To make memories last longer, we can write things down or talk about them with others, which can help keep those memories fresh.
