Best Quotes about Memory

1.
When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not.
Mark Twain

2.
When you are right no one remembers; when you are wrong no one forgets.
Proverb, Irish

3.
Memory always obeys the commands of the heart.
Rivarol, Antoine

4.
Memory moderates prosperity, decreases adversity, controls youth and delights old age.
Firmianus, Lactantius

5.
Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints.
Seattle, Chief

6.
We have all forgot more than we remember.
Fuller, Thomas

7.
Never forget what you need to remember.
Bartley, Garrett

8.
It is surprising how much of memory is built around things unnoticed at the time.
Kingsolver, Barbara

9.
We are able to find everything in our memory, which is like a dispensary or chemical laboratory in which chance steers our hand sometimes to a soothing drug and sometimes to a dangerous poison.
Proust, Marcel

10.
We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget.
Didion, Joan

11.
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste. Then can I drown an eye (unused to flow) For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, and weep afresh love's long since cancelled woe,and moan the expense of many a vanished sight. Then can I grieve at grievances foregone, and heavily from woe to woe tell over the sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, Which I new pay as if not paid before. But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, all losses are restored and sorrows end.
Shakespeare, William

12.
If I could remember your name, I'd ask you where I left my keys.
Bumper Sticker

13.
[Memory is] a man's real possession...In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
Alexander Smith

14.
People with good memories seldom remember anything worth remembering.

15.
The act of smelling something, anything, is remarkably like the act of thinking. Immediately at the moment of perception, you can feel the mind going to work, sending the odor around from place to place, setting off complex repertories through the brain, polling one center after another for signs of re recognition, for old memories and old connection.
Thomas, Lewis

16.
It's a pleasure to share one's memories. Everything remembered is dear, endearing, touching, precious. At least the past is safe --though we didn't know it at the time. We know it now. Because it's in the past; because we have survived.
Sontag, Susan

17.
There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.
Dante Alighieri

18.
Memory is the thing you forget with.
Chase, Alexander

19.
Memories, imagination, old sentiments, and associations are more readily reached through the sense of smell than through any other channel.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

20.
The short memories of American voters is what keeps our politicians in office.
Rogers, Will

21.
The memory represents to us not what we choose but what it pleases.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

22.
When wasteful war shall statues overturn, And broils root out the work of masonry, Nor Mars his sword nor wars quick fire shall burn The living record of your memory.
William Shakespeare

23.
One lives in the hope of becoming a memory.
Porchia, Antonio

24.
That translucent alabaster of our memories.
Proust, Marcel

25.
Lord, keep my memory green.
Dickens, Charles

26.
Be careful about lending a friend money. It may damage her memory.

27.
Memory is like a purse, if it be over-full that it cannot shut, all will drop out of it. Take heed of a gluttonous curiosity to feed on many things, lest the greediness of the appetite of thy memory spoil the digestion thereof.
Fuller, Thomas

28.
As with most fine things, chocolate has its season. There is a simple memory aid that you can use to determine whether it is the correct time to order chocolate dishes: any month whose name contains the letter A, E, or U is the proper time for chocolate.
Boynton, Sandra

29.
The memory of most men is an abandoned cemetery where lie, unsung and unhonored, the dead whom they have ceased to cherish. Any lasting grief is reproof to their forgetfulness.
Yourcenar, Marguerite

30.
A man's real possession is his memory. In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
Smith, Alexander

31.
I'm still chasing girls. I don't remember what for, but I'm still chasing them.
Lewis, Joe E.

32.
The heart's memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia

33.
Every man's memory is his private literature.
Huxley, Aldous

34.
For the sense of smell, almost more than any other, has the power to recall memories and it is a pity that you use it so little.
Rachel Carson

35.
Those who cannot remember the past will spend a lot of time looking for their cars in mall parking lots.
Trachman, Jay

36.
Don't remember what you can infer.
Tennant, Harry

37.
A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness.
Hubbard, Elbert

38.
Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death the memory be green.
William Shakespeare

39.
Our memory is like a shop in the window of which is exposed now one, now another photograph of the same person. And as a rule the most recent exhibit remains for some time the only one to be seen.
Proust, Marcel

Time -- our youth -- it never really goes, does it? It is all held in our minds.

Leftovers in their less visible form are called memories. Stored in the refrigerator of the mind and the cupboard of the heart.
Fulghum, Robert

46.
The charm, one might say the genius of memory, is that it is choosy, chancy, and temperamental: it rejects the edifying cathedral and indelibly photographs the small boy outside, chewing a hunk of melon in the dust.
Bowen, Elizabeth

47.
He who is not very strong in memory should not meddle with lying.
Michel de Montaigne

48.
When one of these flashbacks was reported to me by a conscious patient, I was incredulous. For example, when a mother told me she was suddenly aware, as my electrode touched the cortex, of being in the kitchen listening to the voice of her little boy who was playing outside in the yard.
Penfield, Wilder

49.
We do not remember days, we remember moments. The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.
Pavese, Cesare
