Shape Memory

Famous quotes containing the words shape and/or memory:

“his fear of the word “veil”;
and in the shape of a ship,
still another who slept.”
—Joáo Cabral De Melo Neto (b. 1920)

“A man is the prisoner of his power. A topical memory makes him an almanac; a talent for debate, disputant; skill to get money makes him a miser, that is, a beggar. Culture reduces these inflammations by invoking the aid of other powers against the dominant talent, and by appealing to the rank of powers. It watches success.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
