Sense Memory

Famous quotes containing the words sense and/or memory:

    “What is called common sense is excellent in its department, and as invaluable as the virtue of conformity in the army and navy,—for there must be subordination,—but uncommon sense, that sense which is common only to the wisest, is as much more excellent as it is more rare.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “With a tongue like a razor he will kiss,
    the mother, the child,
    and we three will color the stars black
    in memory of his mother
    who kept him chained to the food tree
    or turned him on and off like a water faucet....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
