Memories

Famous quotes containing the word memories:

“We’ve forgotten what it’s like not to be able to reach the light switch. We’ve forgotten a lot of the monsters that seemed to live in our room at night. Nevertheless, those memories are still there, somewhere inside us, and can sometimes be brought to the surface by events, sights, sounds, or smells. Children, though, can never have grown-up feelings until they’ve been allowed to do the growing.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)

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

“It seems to me that I have always existed and that I possess memories that date back to the Pharaohs.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
