Best Quotes about Memory
One lives in the world's memory only by what they have done in the world's behalf.
Proverb
Our memories are card indexes consulted and then returned in disorder by authorities whom we do not control.
Connolly, Cyril
When you are right no one remembers; when you are wrong no one forgets.
Proverb, Irish
Contemporaries appreciate the person rather than their merit, posterity will regard the merit rather than the person.
Colton, Charles Caleb
People with good memories seldom remember anything worth remembering.
The more connections that can be made in the brain, the more integrated the experience is within memory.
Campbell, Don
Memory is the cabinet of the imagination, the treasury of reason, the registry of conscience, and, the council chamber of thought.
Basile
A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness.
Hubbard, Elbert
Lord, keep my memory green.
Dickens, Charles
Why is our memory good enough to recall to the last detail things that have happened to us, yet not good enough to recall how often we have told them to the same person.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
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
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
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
One must have a good memory to be able to keep the promises one makes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
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
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
We have all forgot more than we remember.
Fuller, Thomas
Memory always obeys the commands of the heart.
Rivarol, Antoine
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
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
Time -- our youth -- it never really goes, does it? It is all held in our minds.
Santmyer, Helen Hoover
I always have trouble remembering three things: faces, names, and -- I can't remember what the third thing is.
Allen, Fred A.
The selective memory isn't selective enough.
Morrison, Blake
Like ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the text.
Benjamin, Walter
Those who cannot remember the past will spend a lot of time looking for their cars in mall parking lots.
Trachman, Jay
Memories can be sad, but sometimes they can also save you.
Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata
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
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
[Memory is] a man's real possession...In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
Alexander Smith
The palest ink lasts longer than the most retentive memory.
Proverb, Chinese
Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints.
Seattle, Chief
If you are speaking the truth you don't have to remember anything.
Twain, Mark
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Never forget what you need to remember.
Bartley, Garrett
To be remembered after we are dead, is but poor recompense for being treated with contempt while we are living.
Hazlitt, William
A man of great memory without learning hath a rock and a spindle and no staff to spin.
Herbert, George
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
The memory represents to us not what we choose but what it pleases.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
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
Forget those things that aren't worth remembering.
Foley, Tim
Memory moderates prosperity, decreases adversity, controls youth and delights old age.
Firmianus, Lactantius
I would forget it fain; But, O, it presses to my memory, like damned guilty deeds to a sinners mind.
William Shakespeare
The short memories of American voters is what keeps our politicians in office.
Rogers, Will
The best memory is that which forgets nothing, but injuries. Write kindness in marble and write injuries in the dust.
Proverb, Persian
Remembrance and reflection how allied. What thin partitions divides sense from thought.
Pope, Alexander
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
I'm still chasing girls. I don't remember what for, but I'm still chasing them.
Lewis, Joe E.
We do not remember days, we remember moments. The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.
Pavese, Cesare
Creditors have better memories than debtors.
Benjamin Franklin
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
