Quote from The Ghost, by Robert Harris 2007
How our personal "history" is constructed in memory:
"Over the years, the anecdote is repeated so regularly it becomes accepted as a fact. Quite soon, to contradict this fact would be embarassing. In time, we probably come to believe it was true all along. And by these slow accretions of myth, like a coral reef, the historical record takes shape."
