Famous quotes containing the word memorable:
“There are no days in life so memorable as those which vibrated to some stroke of the imagination.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“One piece of good sense would be more memorable than a monument as high as the moon.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The momentary charge at Balaklava, in obedience to a blundering command, proving what a perfect machine the soldier is, has, properly enough, been celebrated by a poet laureate; but the steady, and for the most part successful, charge of this man, for some years, against the legions of Slavery, in obedience to an infinitely higher command, is as much more memorable than that as an intelligent and conscientious man is superior to a machine. Do you think that that will go unsung?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
