Shape Memory

Famous quotes containing the words shape and/or memory:

“There are moments when very little truth would be enough to shape opinion. One might be hated at extremely low cost.”
—Jean Rostand (1894–1977)

“It is not however, adulthood itself, but parenthood that forms the glass shroud of memory. For there is an interesting quirk in the memory of women. At 30, women see their adolescence quite clearly. At 30 a woman’s adolescence remains a facet fitting into her current self.... At 40, however, memories of adolescence are blurred. Women of this age look much more to their earlier childhood for memories of themselves and of their mothers. This links up to her typical parenting phase.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
