Remembered Quotes
If you could say, with truth, to your own solitary heart, to-night, 'I have secured to myself the love and attachment, the gratitude or respect, of no human creature; I have won myself a tender place in no regard; I have done nothing good or serviceable to be remembered by!' your seventy-eight years would be seventy-eight heavy curses; would they not?
Charles Dickens
Childhood was the past. It couldn't be changed, only remembered.
Aleatha Romig
This earth will be looked back on like a lowly home, and this life of ours be remembered like a short apprenticeship to duty.
William Mountford
I remembered the fox. One runs the risk of crying a bit if one allows oneself to be tamed.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
There were a lot of times where there was a great deal of fodder recorded and played, because there was a market for it - just as there is today. And there were more bad bands than there were good bands - I think that should always be remembered.
Woody Herman
To be remembered after we are dead, is but poor recompense for being treated with contempt while we are living.
William Hazlitt
The leafy blossoming present time springs from the whole past, remembered and unrememberable.
Thomas Carlyle
EACH MORNING THERE WAS a moment, before I had fully awakened, when my mind still groped its clumsy way back to consciousness, my body not yet remembered, reality not yet acknowledged. That moment was always full of pure, sweet, uncontrollable hope. I did not ask for this hope to come; I did not even want it, for it trailed disappointment in its wake. Yet there it was, hovering within me—hope that my illness had vanished with the night and my health had returned magically with daybreak.
Elisabeth Tova Bailey
When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance.
Freddie Mercury
Queen
My daughter would soon be the age of the ghosts of our girlhood. I found it inconceivable that in a relatively small amount of time, my daughter could wear a wedding dress, as Lila had, end up brutalized in a man's bed, lock herself in the role of Signora Carracci; I found it equally inconceivable that, as had happened to me, she could lie under the heavy body of a grown man, at night, on the Maronti, smeared with dark sand, damp air, and bodily fluids, just for revenge. I remembered the thousands of odious things we had gone through and I let the solidarity regain force. What a waste it would be, I said to myself, to ruin our story by leaving too much space for ill feelings: ill feelings are inevitable, but the essential thing is to keep them in check.
Elena Ferrante
...the enduring human need to be remembered.
Ben Sherwood
Complexity is not a goal. I don't want to be remembered as an engineer of complex systems.
David Parnas
