"To want to forget something is to think of it."  - a French proverb

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I don't agree with this one.  You can simply ignore something to forget it but there may be some truth to it.  If we try to think of the things we want to forget, we can think of the lesson it tries to teach us before we forget it.  I think that is what it's trying to say... Otherwise, I'm wrong.

This one also true because sometimes what we want to forget in underlying consciousness we really want to remember for our own given reasons..
