These hours of afflatus in the human spirit, the springs of art, are, in their mystery, akin to the epochs of history, when a race which for centuries has lived content, unknown, behind its own frontiers, digging, eating, sleeping, begetting, doing what was requisite for survival and nothing else, will, for a generation or two, stupefy the world; commit all manner of crimes, perhaps; follow the wildest chimeras,...

When you get old, it's hard to tell what's memory and what you've kind of created in your head as memory, you know? Bode Miller
I learned that I never really know the true story of my guests' lives, that I have to content myself with knowing that when I'm interviewing somebody, I'm getting a combination of fact and truth and self-mythology and self-delusion and selective memory and faulty memory. Terry Gross
Bill Gates quote: "I have an excellent memory, a most excellent memory."
I have an excellent memory, a most excellent memory. Bill Gates
Three years ago the Government announced the creation of Reconciliation Place, and said that it would include a memorial to those removed from their families. However, they refused to include any of those who were removed in the design of their own memorial. Malcolm Fraser
Albert Finney quote: "To be a character who feels a deep emotion, one must go into..."
To be a character who feels a deep emotion, one must go into the memory's vault and mix in a sad memory from one's own life. Albert Finney
I was once married to a woman who could eat anything and tell you what was in it: the most complicated recipes. Her memory of taste - now that's what I call memory! Morton Feldman
I have a good memory for early life. My visual memory is good about childhood and adolescence, and less good in the last 10 years. I could probably tell you less what happened in the last 10 years. I remember what houses looked like, sometimes they just pop into my head. Jeffrey Eugenides
Clarissa Pinkola Estes quote: "This kind of forgetting does not erase memory, it lays the..."
This kind of forgetting does not erase memory, it lays the emotion surrounding the memory to rest. Clarissa Pinkola Estes
David Dimbleby quote: "And there's the Victoria Memorial, built as a memorial to..."
And there's the Victoria Memorial, built as a memorial to Victoria. David Dimbleby
It is all very well to copy what one sees, but it is far better to draw what one now only sees in one's memory. That is a transformation in which imagination collaborates with memory. Edgar Degas
