Most times we're so focused on what we think we want that we can't appreciate how happy we already are. It's only when we forget about our problems and help others forget theirs that we realize how good we really have it.

 
Glenn Beck
 

If my wife said, I’m not going to be a communist, I’d say, well, forget it, by God, I’ll forget you too.

The meaning lies in the appropriation. Hence the book’s joyous giving of itself. Here there are no worldly “mine” and “thine” that separate and prohibit appropriating what is the neighbor’s. Admiration is in part really envy and thus a misunderstanding; and criticism, for all its justification, is in part really opposition and thus a misunderstanding; and recognition in a mirror is only a fleeting acquaintance and thus a misunderstanding-but to see correctly and not want to forget what the mirror is incapable of effecting, that is the appropriation, and the appropriation is the reader’s even greater, is his triumphant giving of himself.

 
Soren Aabye Kierkegaard
 

HEART, we will forget him!
You and I, to-night!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.

 
Emily Dickinson
