Against Locke and most philosophers, who considers the memory as the foundation of identity and thus the stability of the individual, Eternal Sunshine supports to the Nietzsche’s thesis that forgetting is vital to humans, memory, and thereby the memories it accumulates, weighs about man and paralyzes his action.

Épître d'Héloïse à Abélard . Traduite de M. Pope. The Red Grass. Eloisa to Abelard (Wiki) After the assault, and even though they have a child, Abélard enters a monastery and bids Eloisa to do the same. She is tortured by the separation and by her unwilling vow of silence, which she takes with her eyes fixed upon Abélard rather than upon the cross (line 116). Years later, Abélard completes Historia Calamitatum (History of my Misfortunes), which is a letter of consolation to a friend, and when it falls into her hands, her passion for him is reawakened.

L’homme qui est incapable de s’asseoir au seuil de l’instant en oubliant tous les événements du passé, celui qui ne peut pas, sans vertige et sans peur, se dresser un instant tout debout, comme une victoire, ne saura jamais ce qu’est un bonheur et, ce qui est pire, il ne fera jamais rien pour donner du bonheur aux autres.
Imaginez l’exemple extrême: un homme qui serait incapable de ne rien oublier et qui serait condamné à ne voir partout qu’un devenir; celui-là ne croirait pas à sa propre existence, il ne croirait plus en soi, il verrait tout se dissoudre en une infinité de points mouvants et finirait par se perdre dans ce torrent du devenir.
