Memory Quotes (page 48)

Isabel Allende quote: "Music is a wind that blows away the years, memories, and fear,..."
Music is a wind that blows away the years, memories, and fear, that crouching animal I carry inside me. Isabel Allende
Remember the botched brothel-visit in L’Education sentimentale and remember its lesson. Do not participate: happiness lies in the imagination, not the act. Pleasure is found first in anticipation, later in memory. Julian Barnes
Barry Unsworth quote: "The kneading of memory makes the dough of fiction, which, as..."
The kneading of memory makes the dough of fiction, which, as we know, can go on yeasting for ever... Barry Unsworth
Nations are possessed with an insane ambition to perpetuate the memory of themselves by the amount of hammered stone they leave. What if equal pains were taken to smooth and polish their manners? One piece of good sense would be more memorable than a monument as high as the moon. Henry David Thoreau
It was a backwards memory of an event in his future so terrifying that it had generated harmonics of fear all the way along his lifeline. Terry Prachett
Sam's hand wavered. His mind was hot with wrath and the memory of evil. I would be just to slay this treacherous, murderous creature, just and many times deserved; and also it seemed the only safe thing to do. But deep in his heart there was something that restrained him: he could not strike this thing lying in the dust, forlorn, ruinous, utterly wretched. He himself, though only for a little while, had borne the Ring, and now dimly he guessed the agony of Gollum's shrivelled mind and body,... J. R. R. Tolkien
You found out who you are and what you want and then you realized that people you've known forever don't see things the way you do. And so you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on. Nicholas Sparks
Why is it we want so badly to memorialize ourselves? Even while we're still alive. We wish to assert our existence, like dogs peeing on fire hydrants. We put on display our framed photographs, our parchment diplomas, our silver-plated cups; we monogram our linen, we carve our names on trees, we scrawl them on washroom walls. It's all the same impulse. What do we hope from it? Applause, envy, respect? Or simply attention, of any kind we can get? At the very least we want a witness. We can't... Margaret Atwood
Some things are too terrible to grasp at once. Other things - naked, sputtering, indelible in their horror - are too terrible to really grasp ever at all.It is only later, in solitude, in memory that the realization dawns: when the ashes are cold; when the mourners have departed; when one looks around and finds oneself - quite to one's surprise - in an entirely different world. Donna Tartt
Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness, And knows that yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream. And that that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space. Who among you does not feel that his power to love is boundless? And yet who does not feel that very love, though boundless, encompassed within the centre of his being, and moving not from love thought to love... Khalil Gibran
As I watched Bill, waiting with apparent calm for death to come to him, I had a flash of him as I'd known him: the first vampire I'd ever met, the first man I'd ever gone to bed with, the first suitor I'd ever loved. Everything that followed had tainted those memories, but for one moment I saw him clearly, and I loved him again. Charlaine Harris
It's raining women's voicesas if they had diedeven in memory, and it's raining you as well-Marvellous encounters of my life(o little drops!) Guillaume Apollinaire
Don DeLillo quote: "Too much has been forgotten in the name of memory."
Too much has been forgotten in the name of memory. Don DeLillo
John Newton quote: "Although my memory's fading, I remember two things very..."
Although my memory's fading, I remember two things very clearly. I'm a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior. John Newton
Nothing can match the treasure of common memories, of trials endured together, of quarrels and reconciliations and generous emotions. It is idle, having planted an acorn in the morning, to expect that afternoon to sit in the shade of the oak. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
