False Memories

Famous quotes containing the words false and/or memories:

“The books one reads in childhood, and perhaps most of all the bad and good bad books, create in one’s mind a sort of false map of the world, a series of fabulous countries into which one can retreat at odd moments throughout the rest of life, and which in some cases can survive a visit to the real countries which they are supposed to represent.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)

“Are there memories left that are safe from the clutches of phony anniversarists?”
—W.J. (William J.)
