Famous quotes containing the word memory:

    “Beauclerc: You’ve got a good memory for one who drinks.
    Eddie: Drinkin’ don’t bother my memory. If it did, I wouldn’t drink. I couldn’t. You see, I’d forget how good it was. Then where’d I be? I’d start drinkin’ water again.”
    —Jules Furthman (1888–1960)
