Memorizing proofs of theorems is a wonderful way to check how good they are. If you find it difficult memorizing a proof, it possibly means it has not reached yet its best form; and trying to make it more easy to memorize may yield to a better comprehension of the theorem. Of course, there are technical proofs that are doomed to remain technical, but, ideally, we should be able to communicate a proof just by talking.
