In this chapter, author Tom C. Winter, founding chairman of the German Robin of Sherwood Society, examines the famous phrase “Nothing’s forgotten. Nothing is ever forgotten”.
How often is it actually said? Why does it resonate so strongly with us? Can social psychology’s Terror Management Theory, with its concept of symbolic immortality, help us understand its impact? And did you know that Michael Praed and Jason Connery say the phrase differently?
