Famous quotes containing the words shape and/or memory:
“After that it came to my door. Now it lives here.
And of course: it is a soft sound, soft as a seals ear,
that was caught between a shape and a shape and then returned to me.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
“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 (18031882)
