Thomas Reid on Remembrance
Why sensation should compel our belief of the present existence of the thing, memory a belief of its past existence, and imagination no belief at all, I believe no philosopher can give a shadow of reason, but that such is the nature of these operations: They are all simple and original, and therefore inexplicable acts of the mind.

An Inquiry into the Human Mind, on the Priciples of Common Sense
