Famous quotes containing the words newly, learned and/or memories:
“An ancient estate should always go to males. It is mighty foolish to let a stranger have it because he marries your daughter, and takes your name. As for an estate newly acquired by trade, you may give it, if you will, to the dog Towser, and let him keep his own name.”
—Samuel Johnson (17091784)
“I dont know much about death and the sorriest lesson Ive learned is that words, my most trusted guardians against chaos, offer small comfort in the face of anyones dying.”
—Alison Hawthorne Deming (b. 1946)
“The danger lies in forgetting what we had. The flow between generations becomes a trickle, grandchildren tape-recording grandparents memories on special occasions perhapsno 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)
