Memory

I can only wait for the final amnesia, the one that can erase an entire life.
- Bunuel, Luis
Memory Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Memory

1.
Of what significance are the things you can forget.
Thoreau, Henry David

2.
If I could remember the names of all these particles, I'd be a botanist.
Fermi, Enrico

3.
Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints.
Seattle, Chief

4.
I always have trouble remembering three things: faces, names, and -- I can't remember what the third thing is.
Allen, Fred A.

5.
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

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

7.
The palest ink lasts longer than the most retentive memory.
Proverb, Chinese

8.
Leftovers in their less visible form are called memories. Stored in the refrigerator of the mind and the cupboard of the heart.
Fulghum, Robert

9.
Those who cannot remember the past will spend a lot of time looking for their cars in mall parking lots.
Trachman, Jay

10.
It is singular how soon we lose the impression of what ceases to be constantly before us. A year impairs, a luster obliterates. There is little distinct left without an effort of memory, then indeed the lights are rekindled for a moment --but who can be sure that the Imagination is not the torch-bearer?
Byron, Lord

11.
The short memories of American voters is what keeps our politicians in office.
Rogers, Will

12.
Contemporaries appreciate the person rather than their merit, posterity will regard the merit rather than the person.
Colton, Charles Caleb

13.
Remembrance and reflection how allied. What thin partitions divides sense from thought.
Pope, Alexander

14.
In endowing us with memory, nature has revealed to us a truth utterly unimaginable to the unreflective creation, the truth of immortality. The most ideal human passion is love, which is also the most absolute and animal and one of the most ephemeral.
Santayana, George

15.
Memory moderates prosperity, decreases adversity, controls youth and delights old age.
Firmianus, Lactantius

16.
Memories, imagination, old sentiments, and associations are more readily reached through the sense of smell than through any other channel.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

17.
It's a poor sort of memory that only works backward.
Lewis Carroll

18.
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

19.
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

20.
In memory everything seems to happen to music.
Williams, Tennessee

21.
If I could remember your name, I'd ask you where I left my keys.
Bumper Sticker

22.
When you are right no one remembers; when you are wrong no one forgets.
Proverb, Irish

23.
Don't remember what you can infer.
Tennant, Harry

24.
Our memories are card indexes consulted and then returned in disorder by authorities whom we do not control.
Connolly, Cyril

25.
The more connections that can be made in the brain, the more integrated the experience is within memory.
Campbell, Don

26.
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

27.
Be careful about lending a friend money. It may damage her memory.

28.
You can fall ill with just a memory.
Paolo Giordano

29.
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

30.
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

31.
Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death the memory be green.
William Shakespeare

32.
A good memory is one trained to forget the trivial.
Fadiman, Clifton

33.
People tend to remember my performances, not me.
Barkin, Ellen

34.
He who is not very strong in memory should not meddle with lying.
Michel de Montaigne

35.
That translucent alabaster of our memories.
Proust, Marcel

36.
Human memory is a marvelous but fallacious instrument. The memories which lie within us are not carved in stone; not only do they tend to become erased as the years go by, but often they change, or even increase by incorporating extraneous features.
Levi, Primo

37.
People with good memories seldom remember anything worth remembering.

38.
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche

39.
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

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 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

42.
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

43.
You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces, to realize that memory is what makes our lives. Life without memory is no life at all, just as an intelligence without the possibility of expression is not really an intelligence. Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action. Without it, we are nothing.
Bunuel, Luis

44.
Unless we remember we cannot understand.
Forster, Edward M.

45.
Memory is the scribe of the soul.
Aristotle

46.
Why is it that our memory is good enough to retain the least triviality that happens to us, and yet not good enough to recollect how often we have told it to the same person?
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

47.
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

48.
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

49.
The more a man can forget, the greater the number of metamorphoses which his life can undergo, the more he can remember the more divine his life becomes.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

50.
Time -- our youth -- it never really goes, does it? It is all held in our minds.
Santmyer, Helen Hoover
