"Amnesia" is a ballad written by Chico Novarro and co-written by Dino Ramos, produced by Óscar López and co-produced by Daniel Freiberg and performed by Mexican singer José José. The song was originally recorded by Argentinean singer-songwriter Chico Novarro in his album Que Salga El Autor, released in 1976, and by Puerto Rican-American singer-songwriter and actress Yolandita Monge in her album En Su Intimidad, released in 1978. It was released later as the lead single from José José's album En las Buenas... y en las Malas (1990), and became his fourth number-one single in the Billboard Top Latin Songs chart.
“[M]y memory rests, but never forgets what I lost.”
“That frivolous young widow ought to have paid for the solace she declared so often she found in books. "I must read to forget." All very well, but she should not forget to pay for the means of forgetfulness. The waters of Lethe may be waters bought without money and without price, but my books ought to be paid for in cash.”
“I’m the best there is at what I do. At least the people still living after I’m done undoing would say that. Everyone calls me Wolverine. I don’t remember other names. In fact, I don’t remember much of anything.”
“You forget a thousand things every day, pal. Make sure this is one of 'em.”
“Unliving things have no passions, and no memory: mere matter is the amnesia of the universe.”
“Etiam oblivisci quod scis interdum expedit.”
