Sometimes with my children, I remember exactly how I felt as the child in this situation, not just how it feels to be me.
Meryl Streep quotes | Childhood
Love and memory last and will so endure till the game is called because of darkness.
Gene Fowler quote on Love and memory
Your memory is a monster; you forget – it doesn’t. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you – and summons them to your recall with a will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you!
John Irving | Memory has you
I have done that," says my memory. "I cannot have done that" — says my pride, and remains adamant. At last — memory yields.
Friedrich Nietzsche – Memory
Things that were hard to bear are sweet to remember.
Seneca – Memory
He who has not a good memory should never take upon himself the trade of lying.
Michel de Montaigne – Memory
Nothing fixes a thing so intensely in the memory as the wish to forget it.
Michel de Montaigne – Forgetting, Memory
With memory set smarting like a reopened wound, a man’s past is not simply a dead history, an outworn preparation of the present: it is not a repented error shaken loose from the life: it is a still quivering part of himself, bringing shudders and bitter flavors and the tinglings of a merited shame.
George Eliot – Memory, Past
If a man needs an elaborate tombstone in order to remain in the memory of his country, it is clear that his living at all was an act of absolute superfluity.
Oscar Wilde – Memory, Country
Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things.
Cicero – Memory
If you want to win friends, make it a point to remember them. If you remember my name, you pay me a subtle compliment; you indicate that I have made an impression on you. Remember my name and you add to my feeling of importance.
Dale Carnegie – Friendship, Memory
Memory is not an instrument for exploring the past but its theatre. It is the medium of past experience, as the ground is the medium in which dead cities lie interred.
