Remembrance

Famous quotes containing the word remembrance:

    Praising what is lost
    Makes the remembrance dear.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    ... The glamour
    Of childish days is upon me, my manhood is cast
    Down in the flood of remembrance ...
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    I have been told, that in some public discourses of mine my reverence for the intellect has made me unjustly cold to the personal relations. But now I almost shrink at the remembrance of such disparaging words. For persons are love’s world, and the coldest philosopher cannot recount the debt of the young soul wandering here in nature to the power of love, without being tempted to unsay, as treasonable to nature, aught derogatory to the social instincts.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
