Famous quotes containing the words involuntary and/or memories:
“How often our involuntary facial motions testify to the thoughts we were keeping secret, and betray us to those around!”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“The danger lies in forgetting what we had. The flow between generations becomes a trickle, grandchildren tape-recording grandparents’ memories on special occasions perhaps—no casual storytelling jogged by daily life, there being no shared daily life what with migrations, exiles, diasporas, rendings, the search for work. Or there is a shared daily life riddled with holes of silence.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
