“All memory is individual, unreproducible—it dies with each person. What is called collective memory is not a remembering but a stipulating: that this is important, and this is the story about how it happened […].”
— Susan Sontag, Regarding the Pain of Others (via exhaled-spirals)

In Chapter 6, it was suggested that an inner world of phantasy exists in every human being, and that interests in which imagination play a part are, in many individuals, as important as interpersonal relationships in giving meaning to their lives. There is nothing pathological in the employment of imagination. We cannot dispense with phantasy: if we could, we should lose much of what makes us distinctively human.
