Famous quotes containing the words differences and/or memories:

    When was it that the particles became
    The whole man, that tempers and beliefs became
    Temper and belief and that differences lost

    In the presence of a solitude of the self....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    It is not however, adulthood itself, but parenthood that forms the glass shroud of memory. For there is an interesting quirk in the memory of women. At 30, women see their adolescence quite clearly. At 30 a woman’s adolescence remains a facet fitting into her current self.... At 40, however, memories of adolescence are blurred. Women of this age look much more to their earlier childhood for memories of themselves and of their mothers. This links up to her typical parenting phase.
    Terri Apter (20th century)
