"Last fall, resting on the couch in his apartment in New York, my father was in that suspended state of mind to which he often retreated when thinking about an intellectual problem. … When he returned from his reverie [he] remark[ed] that it was strange to think that when one dies all of one's memories disappear."

From "About my father" Svetlana Leontief Alpers, April/May 1999.
