Memory

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
Memory Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Memory

1.
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

2.
We have all forgot more than we remember.
Fuller, Thomas

3.
Of what significance are the things you can forget.
Thoreau, Henry David

4.
Never forget what you need to remember.
Bartley, Garrett

5.
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

6.
It is surprising how much of memory is built around things unnoticed at the time.
Kingsolver, Barbara

7.
Our memories are card indexes consulted and then returned in disorder by authorities whom we do not control.
Connolly, Cyril

8.
Unless we remember we cannot understand.
Forster, Edward M.

9.
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many things I sought, And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste.
William Shakespeare

10.
Creditors have better memories than debtors.
Benjamin Franklin

11.
Memory is the only paradise from which we cannot be driven.
Paul, Jean

12.
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

13.
It's a poor sort of memory that only works backward.
Lewis Carroll

14.
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche

15.
Time -- our youth -- it never really goes, does it? It is all held in our minds.
Santmyer, Helen Hoover

16.
Contemporaries appreciate the person rather than their merit, posterity will regard the merit rather than the person.
Colton, Charles Caleb

17.
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

18.
People tend to remember my performances, not me.
Barkin, Ellen

19.
A good memory is one trained to forget the trivial.
Fadiman, Clifton

20.
The best memory is that which forgets nothing, but injuries. Write kindness in marble and write injuries in the dust.
Proverb, Persian

21.
If you are speaking the truth you don't have to remember anything.
Twain, Mark

22.
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

23.
Memories are all we really own.
Lieberman, Elias

24.
One lives in the hope of becoming a memory.
Porchia, Antonio

25.
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

26.
Sweet is the memory of past troubles.
Cicero, Marcus T.

27.
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

28.
Memory always obeys the commands of the heart.
Rivarol, Antoine

29.
Our moments of inspiration are not lost though we have no particular poem to show for them; for those experiences have left an indelible impression, and we are ever and anon reminded of them.
Thoreau, Henry David

30.
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

31.
The selective memory isn't selective enough.
Morrison, Blake

32.
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

33.
That translucent alabaster of our memories.
Proust, Marcel

34.
I'm still chasing girls. I don't remember what for, but I'm still chasing them.
Lewis, Joe E.

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

36.
Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things.
Cicero, Marcus T.

37.
Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
Wilde, Oscar

38.
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

39.
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

40.
Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death the memory be green.
William Shakespeare

41.
We do not remember days, we remember moments. The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.
Pavese, Cesare

42.
It is said that God gave us memory so we could have roses in winter. But it is also true that without memory we could not have self in any season. The more memories you have, the more you have. That is why, as Swift said, No wise man ever wished to be younger.
Will, George F.

43.
What is read twice is usually remembered more than what is once written.
Johnson, Samuel

44.
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

45.
You can fall ill with just a memory.
Paolo Giordano

46.
He who is not very strong in memory should not meddle with lying.
Michel de Montaigne

47.
Be careful about lending a friend money. It may damage her memory.

48.
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

49.
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

50.
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
