Best Quotes about Memory

1.
Our memories are card indexes consulted and then returned in disorder by authorities whom we do not control.
Connolly, Cyril

2.
Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things.
Cicero, Marcus T.

3.
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

4.
Remember, your prerogative is to govern, and not to serve the things of this world.
Kempis, Thomas

5.
Observation is an old man's memory.
Swift, Jonathan

6.
Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death the memory be green.
William Shakespeare

7.
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.
Benjamin, Walter

8.
This boy is dead now, I knew it before taking him in my arms, I can remember his face, his suffering, his voice.
Diana, Princess of Wales

9.
It's a poor sort of memory that only works backward.
Lewis Carroll

10.
The best memory is that which forgets nothing, but injuries. Write kindness in marble and write injuries in the dust.
Proverb, Persian

11.
The selective memory isn't selective enough.
Morrison, Blake

12.
When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not.
Mark Twain

13.
Memory is the thing you forget with.
Chase, Alexander

14.
We have all forgot more than we remember.
Fuller, Thomas

15.
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche

16.
Paradoxically one of the greatest advantages of mind maps is that they are seldom needed again. The very act of constructing a map is itself so effective in fixing ideas in memory that very often a whole map can recalled without going back to it at all. A mind map is so strongly visual and uses so many of the natural functions of memory that frequently it can be simply read off in the mind's eye.
Russell, Peter

17.
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

18.
The palest ink lasts longer than the most retentive memory.
Proverb, Chinese

19.
Contemporaries appreciate the person rather than their merit, posterity will regard the merit rather than the person.
Colton, Charles Caleb

20.
Creditors have better memories than debtors.
Benjamin Franklin

21.
But each day brings its petty dust our soon-choked souls to fill, and we forget because we must, and not because we will.
Arnold, Matthew

22.
People may correctly remember the events of twenty years ago (a remarkable feat), but who remembers his fears, his disgusts, his tone of voice? It is like trying to bring back the weather of that time.
Gellhorn, Martha

23.
You are told a lot about your education, but some beautiful, sacred memory, preserved since childhood, is perhaps the best education of all. If a man carries many such memories into life with him, he is saved for the rest of his days. And even if only one good memory is left in our hearts, it may also be the instrument of our salvation one day.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

24.
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

25.
That is my major preoccupation --memory, the kingdom of memory. I want to protect and enrich that kingdom, glorify that kingdom and serve it.
Wiesel, Elie

26.
One lives in the hope of becoming a memory.
Porchia, Antonio

27.
We don't remember days; we remember moments.
Pavese, Cesare

28.
We do not remember days, we remember moments. The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.
Pavese, Cesare

29.
If you are speaking the truth you don't have to remember anything.
Twain, Mark

30.
Remembrance and reflection how allied. What thin partitions divides sense from thought.
Pope, Alexander

31.
There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.
Dante Alighieri

32.
Memory always obeys the commands of the heart.
Rivarol, Antoine

33.
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

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.
A good memory is one trained to forget the trivial.
Fadiman, Clifton

36.
Like ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the text.
Benjamin, Walter

37.
For the memory of love is sweet, though the love itself were in vain. And what I have lost of pleasure, assuage what I find of pain.
Lyster

38.
One must have a good memory to be able to keep the promises one makes.
Friedrich Nietzsche

39.
The light of memory, or rather the light that memory lends to things, is the palest light of all. I am not quite sure whether I am dreaming or remembering, whether I have lived my life or dreamed it. Just as dreams do, memory makes me profoundly aware of the unreality, the evanescence of the world, a fleeting image in the moving water.
Ionesco, Eugene

40.
A man's real possession is his memory. In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
Smith, Alexander

41.
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

42.
Of what significance are the things you can forget.
Thoreau, Henry David

43.
If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient; at others, so bewildered and so weak; and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control! We are, to be sure, a miracle every way; but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out.
Jane Austen

44.
It is surprising how much of memory is built around things unnoticed at the time.
Kingsolver, Barbara

45.
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

46.
You can fall ill with just a memory.
Paolo Giordano

47.
Time -- our youth -- it never really goes, does it? It is all held in our minds.
Santmyer, Helen Hoover

48.
I have a memory like an elephant. In fact, elephants often consult me.
Coward, Noel

49.
The effectiveness of our memory banks is determined not by the total number of facts we take in, but the number we wish to reject.
Wynne-Tyson, Jon

50.
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
