Memory Quotes
-
Your memory and your senses will be nourishment for your creativity.
Arthur Rimbaud -
I try to mimic the pattern of memory and of thinking and the randomness of life. It's like a journey. That is the main thing about the beauty of life; that you don't cram. And not only beauty, but also the fact that there is never a concrete thing in life.
Apichatpong Weerasethakul
-
I would not, if I could, give up the memory of the joy I have had in books for any advantage that could be offered in other pursuits or occupations. Books have been to me what gold is to the miser, what new fields are to the explorer.
Margaret Elizabeth Sangster -

Elena Ferrante -
Blessed be the memory of him who gave the world this immortal game.

Sigmund Freud -
Nothing fixes a thing so intensely in the memory as the wish to forget it.
Michel de Montaigne -
There was a train that would come by our house every night, and I'd hear the whistle blow. That is the sweetest memory I have.
Cassandra Wilson -
Memory can glean, but can never renew. It brings us joys faint as is the perfume of the flowers, faded and dried, of the summer that is gone.

Memory: what wonders it performs in preserving and storing up things gone by - or rather, things that are.
Plutarch

Neal Barnard -
In a morbid condition of the brain, dreams often have a singular actuality, vividness, and extraordinary semblance of reality. At times monstrous images are created, but the setting and the whole picture are so truth-like and filled with details so delicate, so unexpectedly, but so artistically consistent, that the dreamer, were he an artist like Pushkin or Turgenev even, could never have invented them in the waking state. Such sick dreams always remain long in the memory and make a powerful impression on the overwrought and deranged nervous system.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
-
Children sweeten labours. But they make misfortune more bitter. They increase the care of life. But they mitigate the remembrance of death. The perpetuity of generation is common to beasts. But memory, merit and noble works are proper to men. And surely a man shall see the noblest works and foundations have proceeded from childless men which have sought to express the images of their minds where those of their bodies have failed.
Francis Bacon -
Working memory capacity is really the ability to hold and manipulate information while you're actively trying to block out distraction.
Amishi Jha -
They would think she was savoring the taste (blueberries, cinnamon, cream-excellent), but she was actually savoring the whole morning, trying to catch it, pin it down, keep it safe before all those precious moments became yet another memory.
Liane Moriarty -
The virtues we acquire, which develop slowly within us, are the invisible links that bind each one of our existences to the others - existences which the spirit alone remembers, for Matter has no memory for spiritual things.
Honore de Balzac
