Memories

Famous quotes containing the word memories:

“The difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels: it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant.”
—Salvador Dali (1904–1989)

“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)

“That one individual should awaken in another memories that belong to still a third is an obvious paradox.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
