Memory System

Famous quotes containing the words memory and/or system:

“Like ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the text.”

“The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition. In America, this system is carried to the point where a man who can knock a small white ball into a series of holes in the ground with more efficiency than anyone else thereby gains social access to the President of the United States.”
